Juan,

Not all paks are created equal.... :(

What you will find is that the fingers for certain address lines won't be present in the paks. Unless you glue a finger on it will be unusable.

Regards,

Although CoCo carts are kinda thick, so I can visualize some PCB violence
that can be done even for such cases. Cut all tracks, take a plain 27xxx
EPROM, wire its pins to the correct PCB tracks, close the cart and nobody
needs to know the atrocity that is inside.
