2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues. 2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

CoCoEPROMpak is a PCB design for an EPROM-based ROM cartridge for the Tandy/TRS-80 Color Computer. It can accept on 2732, 2764, 27128, 27256 or 27512 EPROM. Board thickness must be 0.062". Gold plating is preferable to avoid contact oxidation. Board is designed to the OSHpark design rules for a 2-layer PCB.

When using 27256 or larger EPROMs, the EPROM is divided into 2-4 16k banks which can be selected with jumper settings. Jumper settings are also important for 27256 and smaller EPROMs in order to apply the correct power and control signals to the EPROM.
