I may be interested in the STe if exxos doesn't buy the lot?

You mean push the pins on the actual chip out a little?

Wouldn't have thought of that, definitely worth a try

No it didn't help unfortunately. The socket did have a lot of bent pins, which I have sorted out. I am starting to wonder if this is the cause, as prior to the ram removal everything worked, albeit at 2mb. The pins as is will make good contact with the MMU but I am wondering about the MMU adaptor, a...

Yes I did, forgot to post that.

Already set to 9600, 8 N 1.

Cool Howto, thanks

now to get the atari fixed any working.

A quick question.....

I've just got a 2600, no idea if it works, not the woody kind and plugged it in yesterday. I couldn't get it to tune into my LCD TV, I take it this is why you guys have gone to Composite mods?

So finally had a chance to do some diagnosis on the Mega. With Exxos's 4mb upgrade and a Marpet 4mb fitted I get a black screen with a white background. So I've tried a few new chips (the removable ones on my board) and all of the old Ram is removed. The PSU was recapped. The CPU seems to be working...

Apparently you can create ozone with a UV tube after googling about my earlier question, so I popped a mouse into my DIY shoe box eprom eraser and didn't notice any difference either, LOL.

This science lark is contagious.

Another interested person here.

How much was the ozone generator out of interest? and could you then use a UV tube to speed up the process, rather than leave it outside?
