Glad you enjoyed it. I am really into these ROMs right now. I'd like to have one with a larger number of ROM Pak images available. I have a second stacked ROM that contains the RAM Test program by Denis Bisson. That is a real trick for diagnosing RAM problems. I think there could be more done with diagnostics in one of these.
Great video! I’ve once made a stacked socket adapter to fix the ROM in my friend’s 1541. I happen also to have a small, thin PCB that would adapt a 28-pin IC to 24-pin. I would need to figure out suitable pins or sockets for that, though.
Very cool! I wondered about the availability of such a board. Do you think it would work for these low-profile needs? Comment back if you get around to working out the pins with it. Thanks.
Good to hear. I'm still using it and have another one with a RAM Test program. These work out great and are not too much of a pain to force the need of a dedicated pcb. I want to do another project as a simple way to enhance an existing ROM Pak with 64 ROM banks. Thanks for your view!
Thank you for your feedback Mikey. I bet there are newer versions than the 1.1 I'm using. I had the impression however that 1.2 and newer were created to support CocoSDC and emulators. All of the documentation I could find on DriveWire3 for real HW (non-emulator) led me to the version I am using.
Great work on the low profile mounting of the Eprom. Also, a nice compact way of adding Dip switches to a chip. Solid work.

Hows anybody supposed to get any sleep with you posting so late at night. Just kidding. Nice video, thanks 😀
Oh yeah, it was a late one! Thanks for your view and the comments. It's always helpful to hear your thoughts on these topics!

Enjoyed your video.
Good job. I like the ROM switching solution.

Nice, good idea. What is your source for those 8 pin flash parts?
Thanks Paul! Here is what I bought: www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-M27C256B-10F1-M27C256B-EPROMs-ST/280867704856
Your HDBDOS version is ancient. 1.4 or 1.5 should be easily available
