"Model T computer" system rom Y2K patches

General

All the KC-85 clones have the same routine holding the century digits, though appearing at different addresses in different system roms.

A Y2K patching rule that applies the same to all machines is to just search for a certain string of 6 bytes wherever it happens to appear, and edit.

Using the hex-editor of your choice:

Search for this sequence: 23 36 31 23 36 39
Replace it with this: 23 36 32 23 36 30

TRS-80 Model 100

0x5A53 0x31 -> 0x32
0x5A56 0x39 -> 0x30

File:TRS-80 Model 100.orig.bin
File:TRS-80 Model 100.y2k.bin

Most Model 100's have a non-standard pinout for the system rom socket.
If your original system rom has the part number LH535618 (most will), then you can use FlexROM_100 (optionally with REX Classic) to install the patched ROM.

If you have a late model without LH535618, then you can use a plain 27C256, or FlexROM_102 (optionally with REX Classic), or 28C256_to_27C256.

You can use a plain 27C256, or FlexROM_102 (optionally with REX Classic), or 28C256_to_27C256 to install the patched rom.

Tandy Model 200

The Tandy 200 system ROM spans 3 chips, M15, M13, and M14. Only M15 needs to be modified.

You can use a plain 27C256, or 28C256_to_27C256, or FlexROM_200 (optionally with REX Classic) to install the patched M15 ROM.

0x5761 0x39 -> 0x30

File:KC-85.orig.bin
File:KC-85.y2k.bin

You can use a plain 27C256, or 28C256_to_27C256 to install the patched rom.

NEC PC-8201A, PC-8300

To change the "19" in "1983", it's the same rule for NEC as all the rest, but there is also a second place to change the "83".

0x5D91 0x31 -> 0x32
0x5D94 0x39 -> 0x30
0x7E30 0x33 -> 0x30

File:NEC PC-8201A.orig.bin
File:NEC PC-8201A.y2k.bin
For PC-8201/PC8201A you can use a plain 27C256 or a 28C256_to_27C256 to install the patched rom.

File:NEC PC-8300.orig.bin
File:NEC PC-8300.y2k.bin
For PC-8300 you can use FLASH_23C1000 to install the patched rom.
