Ramrod MMOS Custom Operating System Board, by Newell Industries (1982)
- Five ROM chip sockets
- Two sockets for standard 400/800 OS chips or direct replacements
- One socket for standard 400/800 FPP chip or direct replacement
- Two sockets for addressing the 4KiB byte block of memory at $C000
- Only one socket can address the entire 4KiB block. In order to use
two 4KiB chips, a hardware toggle switch must be utilized.
- These two sockets can be reconfigured to support standard 400/800 OS
chips or direct replacements. A hardware toggle switch is then used
to select between the two OS versions installed on the Ramrod.
- Earliest units shipped with Supermon! by David Young and 4KiB RAM, and
optionally also shipped with 8KiB EPROM (two 4KiB chips)
- Other early units shipped with Omnimon! by CDY Consulting and 4KiB RAM, and
optionally also shipped with 8KiB EPROM (two 4KiB chips)
- Later/Most units shipped with both Newell OSN and (standard 4KiB) Omnimon!
- "Ramrod 2" shipped with OSN but without Omnimon!
- "Ramrod 3" shipped with neither OSN nor Omnimon!
- Board designed by System Innovations for Newell
