Description
The RomboRedux is a clone of the original Rombo Rombox, reverse engineered by The Equalizor in 2018.
The clone has the following improvements from it's older sibling:
- The through hole ICs have been replaced by Surface Mount devices.
- The Bank Select switch has been swapped round to make the bank selection more logical.
- It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.
However,
- There is no expansion thru connector to keep costs down
- It also doesn't have the Add on Expansion connector the original board had.
The original boards are virtually impossible to get hold of, let alone the expansion module that was sold at the same time.
It was originally designed by The Equalizor after his ROMBO stopped working. It has gone through six revisions to get it to the version that is now available for sale.
Section 2
Page still very WIP...
Rom Compatibility
Works with any "standard" 27128 or 2764 ROM, supports Hackit ROM in Slot 0, which in conjunction with the reset button works perfectly.
