- Hi Robert,
-
- I had the same problem as you. The thing is that you must remove
- those resistors. They are 0-Ohms and the oly reason they are used
- is that they are cheaper than real jumpers.
- The old ROMs have a very strange pinout, with no --OE and adress pins where
- they should not be.
-
- Just desolder them from you mainboard. Then you might want to
- put in jumpers (that's what I did ;-)).
-
- The soldering should not affect your mainboard if you're carefull
- with it.
-
- And besides, TOS 2.06 is worth it.
-
- Bye,
- Thorsten
