I'd commit to 2 of each board.

Re: Superboard 600D, how to convert to Eprom Monitor

Superboard 600D, how to convert to Eprom Monitor

I'm trying to figure out how to re-jumper the Superboard 600D to use a Intel 2716 for the Syn600 monitor (in preparation to swap in CEGMON).

Anyone know the correct changes?

Thanks!

500 board roms

I finally got my C2P to boot up this weekend - it's a heavily modified unit with lots of stray wiring. Most of the modifications are easy to sort out fortunately (Basic 3 fix, adjustable baud rate, switchable clock speed, switchable cassette/printer/modem and LPT output). Also the 2102 ram appears t...

Re: 500 Board

Just a note that I can burn 1702A's (or 2716's etc) here. I'd just need the appropriate .bin/.hex file. I can actually program most any Eprom type, although my 2708 setup is a bit tenuous at present. - Gary If you have a 440 (and a backplane), and the board is running, you should see the H/D/M? appe...

Re: WTB: 502 CPU board

I haven't worked on it further, Dave was going to see if he had a better 502/505 board for restoration. Also waiting for a HDMI-->DVI cable. Long story short, I picked up a little composite video -->hdmi converter (enKo), but found out that the monitor only had a DVI input and the little HDMI-->DVI ...

Re: WTB: 502 CPU board

Dave - You're correct - I installed Cegmon back when the system was new. At some point I'll need to clean up the wiring - I was only 16 at the time and it did work... At one time I had expanded it to install a 470 and 427 board and hooked up a Shugart 901 (earlier version of the 801) drive that I pi...

Re: WTB: 502 CPU board

Here are some pictures, The CPU board was originally coated in urine/feces/fur. I've scrubbed it extensively, so it looks a lot better now. I suspect some of the sockets are making poor contact, and some of the jumpers from the 1970's will need replacing. It's probably fixable, but if I could find a...
