==EP-ROM Board 01:==
The EP-ROM variant of the Gameboy flash Cartridge Board typically has a large protruding EP-ROM chip at the top, exposing the internals of the board in a fashion that will become common in the other forms of the Gameboy Developer cartridge. In many cartridges the Flash of the EEP-ROM chip is exposed, which can be very dangerous for the data that may be contained.
