# Switchable Spectrum ROM Project for the TS 2068

I recently purchased some Spectrum ROMs from Zebra Systems with the hope that I might be able to make my own “ROM-switch” circuit without having to pay the price of those that are commercially available. When I examined the TS-2068’s ROM circuitry I realized that this was an easier task than I had originally assumed.
