Check with Radio Shack. They run $40 or so. Check the device
before you buy it and make sure you have an available ROM socket
for it, or that it is the same pin setup as your system's ROM.
It will plug into the ROM socket and the system ROM plugs in
on top of it. It will often work with any ROM in the machine
(sometimes the hard drive controller's, for instance).
