[Coco] DOS Adapter

[Mark Marlette]

Robert,

 From an electrical aspect I would agree. From a physical size point  
of view, I would not.

The DOS Adapter board uses .031 FR4 and the smallest machined pin  
sockets made. All of this allows the DOS Adapter and new ROM to reside  
in the same electrical and physical space. Trying to get DOS cases to  
close after adapting, this was not easy. I also tried as many of the  
DOS carts I had to make sure that the arrangement of the PWB would  
coexist nicely.

Time you place a socket on top of a socket then place the EPROM on top  
of it all, it will be too tall for the lid to close. The DOS Adapter  
takes care of this. Of course if you want the lid off then all of this  
is water over the damn.

I do these adaptions all the time and there is no comparision between  
the hack and the DOS Adapter.

Regards,

Mark
