Wally1 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 is this solderless, this upgrade? to go from TOS 1.0 to 1.4 I have read that sometimes it is a solderless upgrade, that you just have to unplug the old chips and plug in new ones. the ebay B&C electronics upgrade i believe said this. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazer Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It should be solderless. You just swap out the chips, depending if you have 2 or 6 chips. B&C sells the chips on eBay for $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 thanks, guys I am very glad that Atari had the foresight to make the TOS rom slots socketed! wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yes I am buying and programming the eproms myself.. because even though B&C were $30US for the chips they also wanted $30US to ship.. SO that is almost a $100 tos upgrade for me. I just bought the chips for $9 for 10.. and I can download the TOS file ( I need 6 chip TOS) SO what I do need is the program to spit the TOS file into the 6 chips? Anyone know a programming tutorial? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
