[Coco] Extended Basic Upgrade Options

[Joe Grubbs]

DIP-24 8Kx8s seem to be as rare as hens teeth. I have NOS ones that I'm saving for... whatever. Does anyone know of a decent source for the 24 pin variety or are we stuck with 28s nowadays?

Is there a 26-3027 Coco 2 or is it a 26-3127 Coco 2?  If so, I have a 26-3127 I can use to check for layout correctness.  I had made it to adapt the 24 pin rom socket in my floppy controllers to accept 28 pin 2764 eproms, but until now I have not needed to use it to adapt rom sockets on CoCo motherboards.  I'm on vacation at the moment, but when I get back home Sunday, I'll check it out for you.  I can provide the Extended Basic 1.1 rom you need also.  I thought you might what to know.
