My adafruit logger arrived today. Not sure if I'll get a chance to try
this out tonight but sometime in the next few days I hope to give it a try.

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.

an original commercial rom instead of needing the castellated edge pins and

...yep, reducing ram usage down to 1.7k and everything is happy again...

I think my problem was simply overfilling the small amount of ram on this
controller. I don't get any warning about that from the Arduino IDE at
compile-upload time, but,

own sketch caused the problem, same laptop, without
Using the Arduino IDE the F() macro or equivalent is essential to store text
strings otherwise you will run out of RAM fast.
The SD-Card Library that is part of the IDE is a memory hog too.It does not
work well on the smaller ATMEGA parts with only 2K of memory especially if you
want to
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

I'm continuing to hack on it, but now my own current local version isn't
working any more. I'm *this* close to having the top-right corner of ts-dos
display the current working dir instead of the static string "SDTPDD". But
the version currently posted on github still works and does at least have
The proper molex chip carrier is designed to hold a dip.

I’ve got a max232 I was using to talk to the GPIO pins on a raspberry pi
that I was planning to use with this. I’ll most likely use Linux for the
programming but I have a few Macs I can use too. No windows though.

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
Holy cow cool...
One of the significant challenges developing new devices to put into the
old devices is simply the physical pins.
Standard common pins, whether square or round, are usually too big to work
(without damage) in most chip sockets, and in several instances there is
not enough
I did use your sample Mike. Same as I had purchased off eBay (from China) based
on our conversation(s).
They are still on eBay under item number: 17115136
A little work to trim the heads off et al, but they fit just fine and do not
cause damage to the socket. What I had on hand, round
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
Interesting and convenient but at 10 cents apiece I'll stick with the pins from
