Re: Q60

I think it's fair to say that if someone were to make a batch of 20 or 25 Q60s, they would all sell.

I guess it is true, I do have 11.25 years on you. :(

Re: Sandy Q Board problem

I might add, if you have the thru-co on that RAM expansion, you can just squeeze on a Qubide over the top, and the SQB v3 will happily tun all three cards off its own PSU.

The riser on the V3 feeds post regulator 5 volts. Be aware of that.

Re: Sandy Q Board problem

Yes. A 512K RAM daughtercard can be added in the second row, just by adding the pins.

You need to connect as follows in the two pics:

MPlane request for comments...

Hi all. I have sold a grand total of three MPlanes in two years. There is no demand for them. I think they're the best design electrically, but I suspect some people don't want to cut off their ROM port and use the ROM port on the backplane. I know the MPlane was designed specifically for a mobile p...

Re: The humongous Sandy Electronics thread...

I can now testify that I probably own more DIN connectors than any other QLer. DINcnx.jpg That's the RA females that came today, thanks to the invaluable help of Rich at RWAP. Thank you, Rich. I also have about 45 straight females, 45 straight males and 98 RA males. I also now have 480 or so microdr...

Re: Sandy Q Board problem

Issue 1 is probably the most problematic of all, because it's an all-in-one system. For the fault you describe, I'd check the 7805 is working correctly and not just shorting to ground. Next, I'd socket, check and replace the various 74-series logic. That's hard to do with it all soldered in place. I...
