The DOS 1 6530 must be used with DOS 1 ROMs.
The DOS 2 6530 can be used with eother version of DOS 2 ROMs.

The 2040, 3040, and 4040 are actually the same machine with different
ROMs, 6530s and labels.

You should be able to switch the ROMs and 6530 to the working board and 
the system should run.  If not, one of the ROMs or the 6530 is bad.

Remember:  you must use the correct 6530 for the ROMs.
           Be careful not to mix ROMs from differemt versions.
           UK6 is the GCR ROM.  It is the same for all versions.
           If it is defective, you will not be able to read or write.
