Anyone check out these new standalone "Active EMI Filters" from TI yet? I find their description... intriguing.

So, eventually, I could that Call A.P.P.L.E has an old software list that contains a disk image of the "Basic Connectivity Set." Which contains a bunch of System 7 tools and a single System 6 INIT.

But, ClarisWorks still says the toolbox isn't installed, even with that INIT.

Then. I found out that Zterm doesn't rely on it.

So, that gets me where I was going.

@Computeforloot It was super odd. I bought a lot of four "for parts" IIGS with a bunch of other random parts. Each computer had a W65C02 taped inside, and 3 of them had 6502s in the CPU socket. So, 7 total processors, of which, 5 are functional.

I sincerely think someone was very confused when troubleshooting them.

@Computeforloot And backward!

Where do you get Communications Toolbox for System 6?

Replaced spinning rust platters with @BlueSCSI.

And now I can get to important work.

(This is not the Macintosh with the bombed logic board.)

@retrotheory Doubtful. It depends on what condition the ASICs in that area are in. The SCC and RTC may have lost some of their pins.

Remove. Your. Batteries.

@foone I wonder if the manufacturing workweek lines up with a fiscal quarter end.

SHIP IT. SHIP IT ALL.

I wish 2FA Authenticator apps supported QR-Codes when logging into a site. Why do I have to search for the site/service every time?

@48kRAM Caught your NABU Unboxing VOD just now. Thanks for doing it. This is the first one I saw.

Those surface mount ceramics were probably an early monolithic design. So same cap as a disc, just rectangular. Also, we take standardized case sizes for granted today. I have an app note from the early 1980s that uses some snark about this surface mount fad.

@GustavinoBevilacqua also, it’s backwards …

@GustavinoBevilacqua It’s supposed to be a 65c816. This one isn’t even a CMOS variant. It makes no sense this one would be in a IIgs.

Not what I expected to see when I opened up an Apple IIgs with a note saying: "Failed CPU test."

@polpo Do It!

Is this what you take when you get a headache while debugging an issue with an oscilloscope?

@48kRAM Yeah, maybe the screw will help spread the heat a bit? I dunno, sounds good.

@48kRAM wow! that looks great. Nice job.

@48kRAM Nevermind, just saw your other post.

@48kRAM Are you going to re-use the lens?
