+x=usr(1536) Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Does anyone have a source for XEGS OS ROMs other than Best? I'd order from them, but just don't have a large enough quantity of things that I need from them right now to meet the minimum. An EPROM would be fine; just need one for some testing.

Spinning the wheel o' chance on eBay isn't what I want to do if it can be avoided, but if it comes down to it I'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offer is definitely appreciated, and if you're OK with it I'd like to keep that as a backup option. There's a possibility that the person who has mine may not need it anymore, so I'll chase them down and see where they're at with it. 47 minutes ago, videofx said: I would be happy to burn you one for $5 plus shipping PM sent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mytek Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM I'm pretty sure that PAL or NTSC don't factor into it, same ROM image for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TZJB Posted yesterday at 12:17 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:17 PM 15 hours ago, Dopeyman06 said: Which EEPROM would I need to acquire to burn my own copy? MICROCHIP AT28C256-15PU is the closest to a 27C256 but the manufacturer seems to have swapped A14 pin and WE programming pins 1 & 27 so they are in the wrong places to be useful. And they are expensive. Just use a 27C256 EPROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
