Hello,
I've got a Daystar Turbo 040 (ASIC version) with a "4.01i" firmware (chip is labeled 2984). My SE/30 adapter (courtesy @Bolle) is arriving soon so I'm trying to gather information on my path forward. Right now the Turbo 040 has a 68LC040 in it, but I have a full 040 I'm planning on dropping in. As a result, I've got a few questions:
I'll be able to answer 1 and 2 myself later this week, but if anyone knows now that would give me a chance to order a replacement EPROM if needed.
Thanks!

Right now the Turbo 040 has a 68LC040 in it, but I have a full 040 I'm planning on dropping in. As a result, I've got a few questions:
- I've read here that the 4.11 firmware adds support for 7.5 and fixes virtual memory issues. Does this mean that 7.5+ will not work at all with firmware 4.01? Or does it just mean it will be less stable? Or is it actually totally fine?
- Are there different firmware versions for the LC and full 040 variants? I ask because I believe the "Turbo 040i" was the version shipped with the LC 040 (like mine) and the firmware on my device is listed as "4.01i". If so, will the FPU only be enabled with the non-"i" firmware?
- (The reason this is in this forum) Is this 128kx8 32-LCC EPROM-OTP an equivalent part to the TI TMS27PC010, or can someone link to one that is? https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/microchip-technology/AT27C010-45JU/AT27C010-45JU-ND/1008559
I'll be able to answer 1 and 2 myself later this week, but if anyone knows now that would give me a chance to order a replacement EPROM if needed.
