Awesome! Glad to hear it!
There was a time I was having a conversation with Kurt about this unit and
we were fantasizing about being able to duplicate the guts of the ROM
expansion unit as there's probably quite a few folks out there that might
find it useful to the ROM-based Sardine for their
Thank you, that thread is interesting. From reading that, it sure looks
like what I have is a SAFE configured for Model 102.
It has both 28 and 40 pin headers, and mine the 40 pin is unpopulated
and the 28 pin has a ribbon cable going to the option rom socket, and
there is a hand-written

Correct. The only way the Sardine ROMs are usable is as the full set of 4,
and running within a Booster Pak or a PG Designs ROM expansion pack. I'm
willing
Hi Brian,
Yep that is the same type of PG Designs ROM Expansion unit that I have for
the NEC, albeit the NEC version has regular sockets for all 8 slots of
course.
The whole selection mechanism for which ROM you're using has to be done
through a software-based selector. For the NEC I have some

I looked at my Booster Pak docs. Besides the BP manual itself the only
thing I have special is the X-Tel terminal extensions manual. Which
includes an XMODEM

I'm willing to bet those ROM images for Sardine that you have, Brian,

This would be possible but we'd need a few things
1) a function call that returned the "block number" for each of the 4 named
BP Sardine ROMs.
2) a uniform naming convention for REX# image names for each of these 4 roms
3) a function call that switched ROM images
4) modified BP roms to use these

I have here a PG Design ROM expansion that fits T102.
The unit has 4 molex sockets with the 100/200 pinout to take standard
option roms, and 4 regular dip sockets with apparently regular 27C256
pinout.
All 4 regular sockets

That is the same or similar version of SARDINE that the booster pack uses. All
100k of the dictionary are spread across the roms. I'm not sure about the UR-2
in there. Gary Weber has one of those for the NEC 8201. He may be able to shed
some light as to how to initialize it.

I just tried booting the UR-2 by itself the normal way without the
expansion pack.
It runs and looks normal, and says version 2.06. The archived copy says
version 2.12.

The unit has 4 molex sockets with the 100/200 pinout to take standard
option roms, and 4 regular dip sockets with apparently regular 27C256
pinout.
All 4 regular sockets are filled with this Sardine Plus, which look like
