The 6540 chip has five (!) chipselect inputs plus a Phi2 input. In the
character ROM socket these are not used at all, so I don't support them, I
simply leave the replacement EPROM enabled all the time. Works fine.
It was a bad habit at the time the PET was built to save decoding logic by
applying address lines to these extra chipselect inputs. This way you could
have an array of several ROM chips that would select themselves at the
correct addresses. In a way these chips had their memory decoder built in
already.
There's also another reason why it won't work: My adaptor is so large that
only one of them can be used in two adjacent sockets. Of course this could be
fixed by putting an extra precision socket under every 2nd adaptor.

Check Funet, it has four different sets of schematics for the original 2001,
you need the one that matches the ASSY NO. of your board.

Yes, please have a look at my order page:
