A PCB update to the popular ROMinator by BMOW with the following tweaks:
- Aligned the CPU header in-line with the placement of the wires on the CPU
- Removed 512k / Plus pin headers in favor of solder-pad jumpers
- Improved ROM socket placement in order to avoid physical interference with 128k Chassis
- Improved "HI" and "LO" ROM markings
- Improved header labelling on the bottom of the PCB
- Rounded corners so less chance of cuts (both people and wires!)
- Made the board symmetrical for aesthetics
- Open Hardware (oshwlab)
Big Mess O' Wires discontinued sales and support for the ROMinator. If you have general questions about assembly or parts please feel free to join the Open Retro SCSI Discord server.

The original BMOW BOM can be used. I have also created a *DigiKey cart which includes:
- qty 2, 39SF040 4MBit flash memory 32-pin DIP (digikey)
- qty 2, 32-pin 0.6 inch DIP socket (digikey)
- qty 1, 74HCT02 NOR gate 14-pin SOIC (digikey)
- 0.1 inch male machine pin header (need 56 positions total) (digikey)
- 0.1 inch male square header (need 4 positions total) (digikey)
- Please note that my DigiKey cart is based on the requirements to assemble 5 PCBs.
