On top of that, you will likely want to add a physical CE-
inhibit jumper (a jumper hard-wired to VCC) on the AT28 socket.
The reason for this is that if the EEPROM you have on your
socket ends with a SEGA TMR signature, it will be a wrong one,
but it will still be picked up by the BIOS and Collapse OS will
refuse to boot. A CE-inhibit switch that you can remove after
boot will solve the problem.
