Hey,
Just started to clean up my ste , and I’m curious about the mod you can see on the motherboard.
Anyone?

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Re: STE motherboard mod
Thanks, so in layman’s terms this is just a factory signal clean up of some sort? What exactly does it do?

Re: STE motherboard mod
Not sure exactly what it does...but my STE with external blitter has it while my two with an internal blitter don't.
Might be coincidence, but I doubt it.
Would be great to know what it fixes... especially if it would affect what upgrades could be fitted!

It's this part of the schematic:
