taking it apart is easy, just pull those two plastic tabs...
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
hmm, there's a card in the PDS slot.
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
ooh, it's the Apple IIe card!
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
anyway, let's try and get this machine running. i have a funny feeling the video isn't going to work right...
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
sure enough, the machine chimes, but the video is blank. but i think i know what the problem is.
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
sure enough, there's no PRAM battery. these machines need that battery or you won't get video!
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
but where am i going to get a PRAM battery at this hour?
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
all i have is this 9V battery. 🤔
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
just gonna unwrap it
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
ahh, this looks promising
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022
a perfect fit!
Show threadTube🌿TimeDec 17, 2022

@tubetime any recommendations for 68000 emulators? I remember using one must be nearly twenty years ago now, but it had a nice gui with the register contents and possibly a few LEDs. Had to build a 68k dsp in college. Would love to play with some assembly again.
