Pin 2 says it should be going to A16 on the CPU (pin 47) but mine seems to be going to pin 48 which is A17.
I then tested pin 3 on ROM that should be going to A15 on the CPU (Pin 46) but mine seems too be going to pin 47 which is A16.
If we are talking about p4 of my schematics ("U102 U103 - EPROMS"), the pin 2 of the eproms is named "A16", and is wired to "A16_SELECT" that goes to W104 and then connected either to GND or A17 of the address bus. So in fact all is normal on your board :)

Ah many thanks for the clarification. I am now puzzled to what is causing my issues as everything is testing fine. Has anyone got any ideas of what I could try next?

You could always just swap the new ROMs over and see what happens. Wouldn't hurt anything... Just in case they were marked up incorrectly. :-)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
