The Rompak is a very simple device, consisting of an EPROM, a 47 nF decoupling capacitor and a half length 30-way edge connector.

/GROM from the bus is connected to /CE and /OE of the EPROM, with A0-A12 and D0-D7 connected as one would expect.

The masking tape is not for insulation, but to wedge the PCB in one slot inside the plastic case as it is too short to reach the other slot.

The EPROM in the Rompak shown above contains the Node Ring software, which I spent a lot of time on at Witney.

My Speculator fitted inside the same Rompak case - just!

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :D
