Description
Pins Unsoldered
If you choose the “pins unsoldered” option then you will receive:
- One or two strips of gold-coloured, round, male pins.
- A 2×5 male header consisting of square pins.
- A 1×2 male header, square pins.
- A 1×2 angled male header for optional low profile use
Pins Soldered
If you choose the “pins soldered” option, then your One ROM will have the legs and all header pins pre-soldered.
We do this by hand, on demand, so it may lead to a slight delay shipping your order.
Programming
All One ROMs are shipped with a test pattern ROM installed, but can be reprogrammed to serve any supported ROM image, including the original ROM’s specific mask programmed chip select behaviour. Visit https://onerom.org for programming tools.
Testing
All One ROMs are tested by us before shipping by
- programming them with the latest released One ROM firmware version and a test pattern ROM
- for boards with unsoldered pins, attaching them to a test jig, and reading that they serve a ROM without error
- for boards with soldered pins, reprogramming them with a C64 ROM, installing them in a C64 and ensuring that the C64 can read them without error, and then reprogramming them with the test pattern ROM before shipping
Applications
One ROM was developed for hobbyists and enthusiasts to replace ROMs in retro systems, including systems where original ROMs are now unobtainable, or prohibitively expensive.
One ROM may be compatible with other types of systems, but is not recommended for automotive, aeronautical, marine, military, healthcare, nuclear, industrial or any life or safety critical applications. Use in any such system is entirely at your own ri
