4.5.3 Board Issue 3:
This allows OKI ICs to be used in place of TI 4532. Again, all ICs must be of the same designation.
Appropriate links (2) must be fitted in the grid located on the board between the edge connector and the
`mic` jack socket. Again, the extra memory is obtained by plugging in 4 logic ICs and eight memory ICs.
4.6 HITACHI VS NEC ROM
During manufacture, wiring links are selected and inserted in the board according to whether a Hitachi or
NEC ROM is used. These links are marked `H` and `N` as appropriate and are located as follows:
• Board Issue 1 - between the ROM and the heatsink
• Board Issue 2 - beneath the raised portion of the heatsink
• Board Issue 3 - adjacent to the loudspeaker
Clearly, if the ROM is changed for one of a different make, then these links must be changed as well.
