I equipped two different DIMMs with those back around 2008. I had zero luck getting them to work.
That was the start of the PEx ROM project. James in Britain sent me a few sets of those sockets with the agreement that I would make him a PEx ROM DIMM, but I could never get the socketed version to work. That is part of why it took so long.
If you're already ordered them, I hope you have better luck.
Given the situation with the ROMs does anyone want DIMMs made at this point? I had a couple of requests; one on this topic and one in PM.
I did already order the ones on ebay, ill lyk if i have any sucess. i also am not particularly confident, especially having messed around with these chips already, but if it does work, itll be nice for when/if we can make a modified ROM image, im just kinda tired of soldering lol. i feel like, using a binder clip to get the appropriate force would prolly work, since thats almost def the issue...hmmm...i can figure this out, looks arnt important right?
Im personally for now good on a rom, i have all the parts coming to make another, hopefully i dont have issues with the board again, i cannot for the life of me to get the one i had to work, gave up, ordered a new board.
A lot went wrong with the second rom, 4 torn pads, worked tempararily but was buggy, desoldering the roms again to reflash got me nowhere, and even using the faster chips i used oringially didnt work.
Kinda at wits end, ordered 2 more rom sticks, gonna make one with the sockets on it, regardless of it working or not, and a normal one that hopefully works, and then im not making another, this shit hurts my brain idk how you do it man. doing 2 has killed me, but then again soldering and desoldering 10 times on the same board with no success blows.
