The proper molex chip carrier is designed to hold a dip.

That probably does represent the best way to deal with the main rom, go
ahead and solder a chip to a module, and just use a programming adapter to
re-program. I wanted the replacement rom to be programmable without a
special adapter later, so I went the other way, and I was able to desolder

What could be the possible use for a DIP package REX?

Also, I didn't say anything about desoldering the option rom socket. In
fact I said the opposite. I said imagine a rex in a real carrier just like
an original commercial rom instead of needing the castellated edge pins and
spacers and extraction ribbon.
I did talk about desoldering the main rom,
Whoa whoa whoa. No one said anything about poor design choices. All I said
was that it's a challenge finding any way to get pcbs into some of these
places where dips used to go, using the kinds of parts that are commonly
available.

I for one was not knocking the REX, it's a fantastic device. I think what
Brian was referring to was placing the REX into a molex carrier with these
pins wrapped around it like a stock ROM would be instead of spacing with
cardboard and a ribbon for removal. I agree that most people would not
May not be obvious to everyone, but I designed the T200 Ram module for my
own purposes, with my own on-hand components, and subsequently released
it. Citing it as an example of poor design choices isn't fair as a
result. By all means, please put in the work to design build and test and

I saw the SparkFun pins a while ago. It was before I had rekindled my
model T interest and had completely forgotten about them. I think they
would be a neat addition to a variant of the REX board and an actual
carrier. I think if I'm not mistaken the REX as it currently is designed
is too long
