Keep in mind the FORTH ROM Module actually contained 2 ROMs; one is fixed address at 0xE0000 and the other is loadable anywhere, placed at the 'right' address by the OS' config routines.

Perhaps the board with the very different layout is a board that holds the 32KB ROM that is fixed at 0xE0000 ? Makes sense that it would have fewer leads, I think...

It appears to have all the connections it needs there are 3 pins next to +5 that are of no use to a RAM or ROM module they are there because these modules are designed to be put into front side plugins The fourth missing connection is Dout which is not brought back to the board because it goes on to connect to the other added RAM and ROM modules.
