The ROM

ROM types 

The serial rom chip is an UV eprom NEC uPD23C1000C for foreign OZ. The UK version may be an eprom chip for v2.2, the v3.0 supports exactly the same software but have been put in a ROM which have only 28 pins. The last v4.0 is fitted on an EPROM chip. The socket layout isn't standard according to the NEC standard (see below). If you wish to fit a new eprom, be very careful, pins 2 and 24 must be exchanged according to the JEDEC standard. Particulary if you want to use actual 128K Eprom chip, like 27C1001. In theory, you can fit larger eprom (like 27C2000 or 27C4000), if you wire the addresses lines.

ROM socket 

The mother has 32 pins tracked to the NEC standard.
