Dragon 32 - IC17 / IC18

[KenH]

On the Dragon 32 the 16k rom is split into two roms: IC17 & IC18.
On my Dragon, IC17 is socketed while IC18 is soldered. Is this the standard configuration?
Which IC stores the lower 8K of rom and which one has the upper 8k?

If you checkl the pictures of Dragon 32 boards here, you'll see that IC18 are usually labelled as 1-0 and IC17 as 1-1, so I guess IC18 has the lower part, and IC17 the upper one.

Please, correct me anyone if I'm wrong.

Some boards come with both ICs socketed. Others with both soldered.

Thanks Steve.
Do you know which IC stores the lower 8K of rom and which one has the upper 8k?

No.

A quick inspection of the schematics for a Dragon 32 seems to indicate that IC18 is the lower 8k of the ROM.
