Hello all I have a small project I have been working on and need a
little help. I have a board with a 27c160 bios chip on it and I need to
be able to switch the bios back and forth between two version. Its not
easy to change the chip because its under a few things. So I made a
extention for it. Its a socket with a ribbon cable to a pcb with two
27c160's and a ribbon pin header for each chip. I just move the ribbon
cable back and forth as I need. What I would like to do is add a
function switch. I just dont know what pins need to be turned on/off.
Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Keith

If the chip has a CE (Chip Enable) or CS (Chip Select) this pin would do the
trick.
Just make one the inverse of the other!
