Ha. :) You misunderstood me a little...
Some of the CoCo ROM Paks do not have a DIP chip... but instead, I'm
speaking of a bubble-shaped solid covering for the chip real estate
area. It looks like an empty PCB with a black semi-sphere sitting on
it. If I'm mistaken and no CoCo ROM Pak is like this, then it was
some other game pak that I owned that did. I cracked open a lot of
games to find this type of "chip".
