Hi

I have one of these cartridges but it has no IC's in it now there are 3 IC sockets 2 for roms and 1 other does anyone know what goes in the other?

I have managed to find blank eproms on ebay and ROMs online that should work but I have no idea what the other IC is?

I know of another spectre 128 for sale but don't I don't really want to buy another

Thanks

UTR

I'm not sure if it will help, but here's the schematic for the Spectre GCR: https://www.gossuin.be/images/schemasat ... re-GCR.pdf

Ah thank you, that's for the GCR the one that came out after the one I have which is the 128 I think a lot of the extra circuitry is for the floppy pass through which the 128 doesn't have.

It's either going to be a 74 series logic chip or a pal I would think. I found someone selling one but I doubt they will pop the lid off and take a picture for me lol

*edit* I have just asked them for the photo though :D
