Classic. Someone raged during gameplay and hit the keyboard in the center. There is a stem holding up the keyboard in the middle that breaks the pcb when hitting it to hard. I have done some repair and Steve did great job with his.

Soldered and programmed a Cubase Audio Dual Dongle.

Is this the 4-cartridge port-selector cartridge? If so, wow! Didn't know that there was 400 ports available to make this. Or did they manufacture some more?

I will definitely be getting one. Keep us updated!

... Also good advice, though in my case I don't even have that as a defence - the sockets are the correct way around, it's just the labels that were (for whatever reason) upside down... That is because TOS v2.06 can be used in both STe and Mega STe. Notches to the right on STe and notches to the le...

Sticky flux and solder braid is your best friend when doing smd work. It should help you dealing with bridges on pins.

Here you have some schematics. RP1, RP2, RP5 is resistorpack for address bus. RP3 and RP6 is on data bus. But the RP-number might not correspond to your motherboard. So don't trust them. Anyway, I hope it will help.

It seems you have a TOS2.06/TOS1.04 chip. You can only run TOS v1.04 or below without a decoder. So the jumper must be set correct for it to boot. It will also take a while to boot if you have no floppy attach to the board. I would also adjust the voltage to 5V.

If anyone haven't seen this yet: ultraBooST by cream and the hardware supporting the demo.

Very rarely they don't have all sockets. But that would be extremely unlucky. But that is the latest rev of the shorty ST.
