This Public Domain ROM chip(PDrom for short) is a universal ROM with 24/28 Pins primarily for 8-bit systems. The ROM chip is configured via the built-in USB-C port using a web interface.
Additionally, there is an SD card slot on the chip, where prg, p00, t64, crt, and sid files can be loaded.
By using pin 1 of the ROM chip, it is possible to switch between different ROMs either between two ROMs using a switch, or between up to 16 ROMs using a pushbutton.
With the web tool, it is possible to connect to the PDrom, manage ROM files, and fill and organize the SD card with data.

The PDrom comes pre-soldered and is delivered ready for immediate plug-and-play use
