Hi guys,

Some of my tech knowledge is a bit limited. What exactly are these & what can I do with them? THanks.

It appears to be a very nice Atari Rom chip collection with a bunch of games. Have you tried plugging a chip in the socket and plugging the socket in a unit?

If that's true he might just have a debug cart and prototype chips!

I will have to try that tonight, when I get home. I did figure that they could be used as a type of "cartridge", but I wasn't sure what else they might be good for.

Thta's quite the ROM collection you have there. Just put one of the chips into the chip holder on the cartridge, and then use the board as a cartridge.

You may have a prototype chip in there, but it's more likely that someone just bought a bunch of ratty-looking carts, or was tired of all the space a huge cart collection took up, and ripped the chips out of them. But there's always that possibility...
