[Coco] ADOS 3 Rom Question

[Arthur Flexser]

Are you sure that's an FD-502?  According to my notes, the FD-502 is
the one controller Tandy made that has a 28-pin ROM socket, which
should therefore be directly compatible with your 28-pin ADOS-3 EPROM
(though it requires a small modification to enable the upper 8K of ROM
space to accommodate Extended ADOS-3.)  I suspect you actually have an
FD-500 or FD-501.

The Controller I have as 2 ROM Sockets the 28 PIN ROM installed says WDC'83 with a chip number WD1773-ph. The 24 Pin ROM is a Tandy Chip number SCM92128P. When I replaced the 28 PIN ROM with the Ados chip I bought it comes up with the standard Disk Extended Basic screen. (I put back the original ROM chip and the controller works fine so I did not destroy anything)
