on the stock memcal, i notice that there are 2 chips soldered to the board that are to the right of the prom chip.. do i need to put those on the new moates chip? also is the moats memory adapter a plug and play? or do i need to solder that as well. thank you

 

nope, not at all, those are the chips that kcik in if the PROM fails and are the 'limp home mode' chips. actually, by using the adapter, those chips' leads go right through the adapter like nothing is there, but the original prom does not, because the new prom/zif sockets takes it's place.

so those lil chips get left alone

 

cool thank you! had me worried for a min.
