Re: OSI 510 ASCII Art Quickref
Interesting, so you have the older 510 board with the 1702A EPROMs? That matches the schematic in the comprehensive information package, and on Mark's site, but the schematic on the archive (and in Mark's photo) are the newer rev C, which uses 2716's (or 2316 Mask ROMs). Looks like Grant has the 170...

Re: OSI reproduction project
Mile High Test (now called Gardien Services) received the other boards and will start the scanning. Now I have the 470 board depopulated in addition to the 540B. The 470 board was configured as a Parallel port and wave-soldered, and whoever stuffed the board used a dull cutter that flared out the le...

Re: OSI reproduction project
Is anyone interested in a 6809 add on for the 560z. If the proto area is to dense then I would rather a plugin board on the Z80 socket. Maybe add two ROM sockets,RAM and a multi pin jumper that would allow selection of Z80/6809 in situ. Doable ? I think the 510 would be more of a natural basis for ...

Re: OSI reproduction project
I think Klyball has already done some upgrades, such as his 470 card with built-in data separator, RAM, and ROM. I would be interested in doing some upgrades, but there is value in just having the original boards in Gerber format. Adding upgrades to scanned boards would require importing the Gerbers...

Re: OSI reproduction project
The 540B is fully depopulated, and I'm in the process of doing some cleanup. By the way folks, the smoke from the ancient flux on the 540 board completely jammed up the filter element on my desolder station. I had to change out brown, rock-hard filters three times for this one board. So if you have ...

Re: OSI reproduction project
I already have the 555 done and boards made All right then. I'll tell them to hold off on the 555 for now, and will use the funds toward scanning other boards. The 430b would be an excellent addition. I have one of these but would be reluctant to depopulate it for scanning. I have been working on a...

Re: The CHALLENGER 1P Technical Report
You're right! The title seemed familiar, somehow, but I don't think I've seen this particular document before. Thanks for sharing!

Re: OSI 560Z Clone?
Very nice! You can count me in for a couple of those boards.
