Intro & sad Superboard
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:59 am
Thanks heaps Dave for setting this forum up.
I've just found my old SuperBoard 600 rev.D in the roof space and we have just entered another lockdown here in Victoria, Australia. So ... the challenge is to get it going again. Unfortunately, many many years ago, after I passed it on to my younger brother, 240V hit the power rail
Therefore I'm looking for replacement ic's. I've just ordered some 2114's which seem to be getting rare but I have no idea how I'm going to replace the BASIC ROMs and the SYN600 ?? Does anyone still have the capability to burn them? I do have five "new" 2716 eproms ... if these are the correct ones??
Is this restoration an impossible task? I don't know if other ic's are going to be impossible to get.
The board/keyboard is in good condition and I've also got a couple of expansion boards (video and memory) but I'm not really interested in getting them going.
Once again, many thanks for this fantastic resource.
cheers
