After all the fun and games building and troubleshooting the OSI 600 & 610, any troubleshooting for this should be easy as pie :)

OK, ROM is burned and installed:

The two 'hanging' legs connected to the mainboard are what's required to use a 2732 in place of an 8332/2532/mask ROM due to slight differences in pinout.

This information can be found on Grant Searle's pages here: Grant Searle and here for the ZX80 specific pages: Grant Searle - ZX80
