Fitting the combined 2764 to a System 3/4 CPU board
Steps
- Bend 2764 pins 2, 22 and 23 outward so they stay clear of the socket.
- Plug it into any one of the IC20, IC17 or IC14 sockets, offset so 2764 pin 14 sits in socket pin 12 (the 28-pin chip overhangs the 24-pin socket). On a Firepower board already converted to a combo ROM in IC14, use IC17 instead, as IC14 is rewired.
- Solder pins 1, 26, 27 and 28 of the 2764 together with a wire across their tops.
- Remove IC15 from the board.
- Wire 2764 pin 2 to IC15 hole 13, pin 22 to hole 12, and pin 23 to hole 14.
- Putting a socket and a small plug at IC15 makes it easy to return the board to standard chips.
