holds four EPROMs. Tak•ft;t9Qether, the four EPROMs contain the ROM
image of the final 256K FreeDOrt ROM.
Since you may be developiflg;expansion card produds which might
interfere with the ROM daughterboard, we have also provided you with a set
of masked ROMs that are electrically and mechanically identical to the final
ROM. However, these ROMs have many known bugs. They are provided
for your convenience only~··
