Standard surface mount chips. All very unpleasent. Running solder down
bent paperclips is my prefered method of mangling the board - although,
upon investigation with a mag.glass and half an ounce of clue, there
does seem to be jump-pads for a double-decker PS2 socket. - labeled
SK1 - although mine were under a little round yellow sticker :)
If you hold the box, topside up, front to your left. To the south-east
of the pair of (4Meg each?) ROM's.... I think :) Just "above" the
largest of the 3 connectors on the video/power daughterboard. But I'm no
hardware geek.

Yes, Agreed but the Socket Mounted ROM's make the whole show so much
easier to upgrade.
Next on the shopping list, a "flasher" *grin*
