I realize this is a thread necro, but I didn't see any reason to junk up the forums with another post related to the same subject.
I have a few FM16W08 laying around from a bulk "don't know what this stuff is" buy a few years ago and a few breakout boards. I'm wanting to use them as NVRAM in some MCR arcade boards (Tron, Satan's Hollow, Spyhunter, Tapper, Timber, etc). At first I was thinking it would be a 1-1 and grounding the other 2 address lines... wrong (or my FM16W08's are boo-boo'd).
Do you, or anyone else, have a quick schematic for these?
Quoted from german-pinball:1.)
It is imho NO challange to solder the 6116-Adapter, if you have a good layout.
Here is how I did it in 2011. Board is single layer-design.
First foto is 6264-Adapter, second is 6116-Adapter.Both pretty simple to solder - I did a (bad) video of soldering, if you wanna see, look here:

2.)
To 5101-Adapter: There are no additional PCB-costs, when you design a board with combining the 2 CEs. Only more parts are the IC and 2 resistors, extra costs of about 0,2 USD, but you have the advantage, that you have extra support for WMS 3-4, GTB Sys80 - imho no question, do add the logic to every 5101-Adapter.

You might have seen, that I always - Lindsey does the same - add a PWR LED to my boards, I like it and all who use my adapters too.
4.)
You use universal PCBs, why? If you design your own PCBs, you are more open, to integrate your own ideas and the price of each spare pcb is not more than 1,00 USD.
