====ROM disable pins====
All the previous models of ZX Spectrum have a single ROM chip which could be disabled to facilitate paging in external memory by pulling the {{overline|ROMCS}} line high. The +2A/+3 and +3B however have two ROM chips and brings them out to independent pins on the expansion port. The old {{overline|ROMCS}} pin (Lower pin 25) is not used, and instead Upper pin 4 and Lower pin 15 are used. These pins were both unused on the [[ZX Spectrum 128K Edge Connector|128k+]], however Lower pin 15 was used for composite video out on the [[ZX Spectrum 16k/48k edge connector|16k/48k]].
