Re: Atari TT - Bus errors, advice needed!
So I've highlighted them on the sheet and they are 150pF, that's 150 pico farads. What you want is:
Ceramic Capacitor, 150pF, Through Hole, voltage whatever 50+, axial is better here because spacing

Edit: They are part of the circuit to pins 13 and 14 of the VGA, so horizontal and vertical sync signals.

So he probably killed the V&H sync by the looks of it..

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.

Omg thank you!!!!
Re: Atari TT - Bus errors, floppy issues. PARTLY SOLVED ;)
Okay guys, I've finally put her back together. I seem to have solved my problems apart from that strange bus error in the system boot log in Mint.. but all programs and games seem to be running fine. So I am just guessing I might have a software issue rather than hardware. But that can wait another day.
Thanks again to everyone who helped, special thanks to Chris and Jish.

Good to hear. That MiNT error is probably something I get as well on certain configurations. I know I signed off as "Jish" mistakenly but it's actually Josh, for JoshuaSteve wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 11:36 am Okay guys, I've finally put her back together.

Final update:
My Mint related bus error was due to either wrong or corrupted Mint kernel or extensions. I re-copied the most important files over, now the bus error log is gone!
So in summary:
* The floppy issues were solved by installing the bus SIPS as recommended
* My cracked capacitors for the video output got replaced
* The Mint issue was software, not hardware
And during the process my TT got a lot of love. Brand new vme bus pal chips, vme bus fix implemented, entire motherboard re-capped, new system fan fitted, new floppy buffer chip.
Thanks again Chris and Josh
