CPC GX4000-Multi EPROM Cartridge

4 bytes added, 13:22, 22 October 2009
A Special [[Cartridge]] with a socket that a allows easy modification of the build built in ROM software.
Such thing This can be made by "cannibalizing" an existing Cartridge (Let's say... a GX4000 Burnin'Rubber Cartridge, as it is the most common one).Remove properly the ROM properly (the biggest chip) but beware be careful not to harm nothinganything else. Then file a hole on your in the Cartridge, add a ROM/EPROM socket...there you are.
Of course the most important chip remains the [[Amstrad Cartridge Identification Device| ACID]] and should be treated with exceptional care.
Another main problem may come from the necessity to open the Cartridge without breaking anything.
Instead of filing a big hole, you may use somle some extra connections (wires), smaller holes and then the ROM socket is fixed on the cartridge (as seen in these pictures).
The Multi EPROM cartridge shown here seems to be of a professionnal quality. The Chip socket (ZIF Type) is epicly good as it allows the removal of the EPROM/ROM without harming it.
