I've some of these chips which I got from Ebay a while ago. I *think* they are actually Intel P8041AH's but marked as shown. Can anyone confirm as I can't Google a result. #retrocomputing#intel
Swapping a number of the bios config batteries used in Tandy 3000 and 4000 systems. Never thought #retrocomputing would utilise vaping batteries but they are 3.7V with battery holders. The Molex KK connectors come prewired from #Farnell. Three to do today. #trs80
A new addition to the collection, it's as mint as it looks. Power supply will need a RIFA update and depending on stability maybe an output stage refresh. The US to UK voltage change is simple. It has colour hi-res but is lacking on system memory but fortunately I can fix that from stock due to a spare card. #retrocomputing#trs80
Moved forwards with an 3000NL sourced from Egypt. Was very sandy inside which wasn't a surprise. The 5 1/4 drive cleaned up but the 3.5 drive was full of gunk. Hard disk replaced with a DREM and a new Sony mechanism installed to rid the gunk. #drem#trs80#3000NL#retrocomputing
Added a 4000SX to the collection. Clean and working. Now running clean version of Dos 6.22. Needs a replacement battery and the 2Mb memory expansion upgrading to 8Mb. #trs80#4000SX
Lastest #tandy#tandy3000 shipped in for my #radioshack#retrocomputing collection. A 3000NL with a ton of Egyptian sand inside. Fortunately the system is dry and it’s removing easily. The system is also rust free which is amazing. System is complete but a bit tatty. Lots to clean up before we get to testing.
#applelisaclone is definitely a bit flakey. Good news as now I'll have to debug it. Good news is my new Chip Tester Pro v2 has arrived and I've already found that my parallel card 6522's were not working as advertised but the new ones are A-Ok!
Finally I have reunited the #trs80 Model 16A with its 68000 cup and memory card which were sold across two eBay auctions. I got the cards and Phil the machine. Well it’s reunited today and successfully running diagnostics. A dead second Z80 memory card needs work, but I also have a clone Type 2 hard disk adapter to install and a hires card.
