Eprom socket in MPC2000XL???

A few hours ago I opened an MPC2000XL and was looking at the parts on the main board.
I noticed an eprom socket and a table saying: 1-2 Flash Boot, 2-3 Eprom boot.
There was some jumpers right next to the socket and it was set to 1-2.

Doesnt make any difference if anybody knows anyting or not about this, but im just curious:
What was the eprom socket made there for? Some OS upgrade via eprom chips maybe?

Nobody knows about this?

Let me find the pic i took.

I dont know either but do you have the flash board installed? It would sound a bit stange to me if you dont cause the jumper is set to it.

maybe the word "boot" in that context mean the kernal boot (just like a pc got its BIOS) of the MPC and not the OS.


EDIT: Did you saw this?

The socket is for development and testing at the service center if there may be issues with the flashrom.

Stop mucking about on the inside your MPC and get to know the outside of it.
Damn it MAN! Go make some beats!!!!

If youre talking about me I already do know the outside of my MPCs and I just want to know more about the inside.

Is this a potential route into a 2000 series hack?
