Took a long lunch, took apart my VS2K and made binary & hex images of *all*
the PROMs on the boards...
LPWR/VS40X 4-Plane Color Opt. -- 27512 EPROM -- "LM8832/083E7"
Ethernet Board? 5016803-01 -- 27256 EPROM -- "23-352E6-00 ABOfy/w8841"
CPU Board has 4 EPROMs on it, by the memory array, as follows:
(Back edge of system board)
============================================
+---------------------------+----------------------------+
! 27512 ! 27512 !
! LM8838 ! LM8836 !
! 051E7 ! 053E7 !
+---------------------------+----------------------------+
! 27512 ! 27512 !
! LM8835 ! LM8838 !
! 050E7 ! 052E7 !
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
My system has a DataRAM add-on memory board (12Mb total I believe), and
LM8836/053E7 (Upper right above) is removed and on a "flying daughter board"
attached into the original socket by a wire lead. There are 2 other chips on
this
board... 16-pin DIP IC's, possibly small PROMs?
Anyways... 27512's are 64KB EPROM's, so this is 256KB of PROM. I have no
clue just yet whether this is 256K x 8-bits, 128K x 16-bits, or even 64K x
32-bits.
If its 32-bits wide, to modify the boot PROM monitor would obviously require
all
4 PROMs to be reprogrammed and replaced.
I'm sure I have enough '512s to fool around with, so I'll dig into it some
more...
Any insight into this would be appreciated.
