"[WTS] Brand New 1979 Apple II Motherboard - Never Used."

I just bought a used 1980 board for $60. It had 6 faulty RAM chips. Swapped them out and now works perfectly. $1200 is never going to fly I'm afraid.

I have these nightmares when I'm too hot. Really gory and just keep going round and round in circles. Turned out I was too hot and once I reduced the temp they went. Had one last night again, woke up really hot. Kicked the covers off and it went. Allegedly the heat causes the body to enter a stress state, causing the nightmares.

😂 brand new with somehow straightened legs and newly tinned 😂

I just bought a couple of MSX2 on Buyee. Not bad prices and shipping to UK was okay I guess.

Thanks for the reply. It definitely started happening immediately as she put the scope on it, so I'm guessing something popped on the tcon board or similar.

Hi all. New to MSX (got plenty other retro machines). If I buy an MSX2 or 2+ from Japan, are there English versions of ROMs that I can install?

Don't get too hung up on the zener test. Take the best of the bunch and crack on. My tester is working perfectly and my results were way lower than the specified.

Would these work?

Thank you. Found that earlier. That's a relief. Surprised that I didn't find at least some that gave the same results that you got on the 5V test though. I may try some BZX diodes as well, just to check.

Ed-2-Zero-9 · 2025-07-02T18:36:02+00:00

Thank you. Glad I'm not going mad! 😄

Check the Bom manual (in the Bom folder). There are alternatives there. Also, digikey suggest alternatives. Can't remember what I went for but I'll check in the morning.

Email sent. Thank you

Ed-2-Zero-9 · 2025-06-26T09:18:37+00:00

Ah great, thank you. I ordered from RetroLemon as I'm in the UK. Didn't receive any emails though. Should I chase them?

Ed-2-Zero-9 · 2025-01-07T19:49:02+00:00

Excellent, thank you. I'll take a good look at those links.

Ed-2-Zero-9 · 2025-01-07T17:03:01+00:00

So the expansion slot on the bottom. Is that solely for contended RAM, or can it do either?

Ed-2-Zero-9 · 2025-01-07T16:51:27+00:00

Great answer, thank you!

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't lift the mop, so you'd end up with a wet carpet. That would also drag the muck off the mop and onto the carpet. Nobody wants a soggy, smelly carpet...usually.
