How do you go about getting to the grid lines? Is there an easy way to remove the pad surface from the case without destroying it? Please advise.
You are correct: a standard module fitted with a 2085 daughter card can hold 4 eproms which are selectable via the 'Resonance' control. The downside is you lose 'Resonance' programmability.
