Atari Cartridge w/ 24-pin DIP Socket
Wayne Eggert writes:This is an Atari cartridge that has been modified with a 24-pin DIP (dual inline package) socket. I originally intended on using this for experimenting with Atari programming and burning some homemade games. After purchasing several desoldering tools, I finally found a worthwhile one at Radio Shack and it cut down considerably on the time invested on taking the old chip out of the Atari cartridge. I then just soldered in the new ZIF (zero insertion force) 24-pin DIP socket and then tested it with the old chip to make sure everything was still in working order. That was the easy part — following soldering the socket in, I cut several traces on the board and soldered a hex inverter in so that I could then use a 2532 eprom with the board. I tested the cartridge several times and was able to get it working with the 2532 eprom relatively easily :) It successfully loaded up a Kaboom! rom I burned onto the eprom just fine.
