Still, it's nice to make sure to understand the methology behind it, 
calculate it and then check if it is correct.


>> Just checked on the KU, there you have space for 3 pins between the ROMs, making it 10,16mm. So a ROM is 15,24mm wide, the space between them is 10,16mm which will give you 25.4mm between Pin 1 of 2 ROMs. That would be 1".

Still comes out to 1"... I used a tape measure.
