Default Re: 1978 Commodore PET project

Incidentally, you may wonder why I specified a conventional socket for the 'carrier' for the injured ROM rather than a turned-pin socket. We have found in the past that inserting the relatively thick, round pins of a turned pin socket into the sockets in Commodore mainboards spreads the contacts in the mainboard socket and makes them unreliable, hence the suggestion to use a conventional socket which has thin, flat pins.
