With the arrival of those two deliveries it's just the adjustable voltage regulator and the PCBs in transit. The ZuluSCSI from eBay still hasn't been dispatched so yesterday I noted with eBay about this and the vendor came back... It turns out that it's AmigaKit again. And the exact same old excuse...

Well I lifted a leg on the cap and tested it, it is indeed the correct value, 0.01uF. I'll leave the leg lifted until I can get the video fixed and will look at it again then.

The LS163's are from a supplier who I trust so I expect them to be here in the next few days.

One other thing I'll be doing once I have this up and running again is to fix the problem of the display being shunted 2 characters to the right, which is very noticeable on the LCD. So I have modded the ROM file at location $7E0 after discussing over at OSIWeb, and once I have some new ROMs (My cur...

Grrr.... Silly chips. Do you see a signal if you lift the non-chip side of the resistor and/or remove the cap? Annoyingly I didn't get that far before the LS163 in the video circuit decided to go bye bye. I will probably pull one leg of the cap to check the value at least, and I may be able to blin...

Well, my 7476's arrived and it's made no difference to the tape output. Hmm What's weird though is that pin 11 outputs to R56, a 100K resistor, and on the IC side there is a signal, but on the other side of the resistor, that connects to pin 9 of J2, there isn't. t Pin 9 of J2 connects to pin 7, the...

Well, the SAAB shock absorber cartridges are out for delivery, and the RS Components delivery should also be today.

Ahh well, at least you tried

Sounds like you've got some busy days ahead.

The keyboard pads have been replaced. The keyboard is better to type upon but there's still not a lot of travel and the foam is still reasonably stiff. Still, all the keys work and it is better than with my pads. Nice to know that the TexElec pads work well, but at least you have a method for makin...

Woo Hoo

And how do they compare to your home-made replacements?

stephen_usher wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:12 pm Yeah... though I do know that the PCBs I ordered on Sunday are now with the courier in China so may get here by the end of the week. Hopefully the RS Components order will arrive tomorrow too.

Fingers crossed
