It's been a busy week doing a lot of little enhancements to the console.
All the 50way IDC internal wiring has been done for the computer.
I'm anxiously waiting on the 8" program disk, which should let me know if the computer is functional or not.
So far when it powers up it seems like all is OK, then sits on the 100Hz and Run A leds. This I understand is when it is waiting to load the program disk(?)
Here's a little progress :
Found the last bucket and bus cards locally. And a TR Bus Driver card. Thanks Simon!
Meter Distribution Card installed. Aux / Cue meter panel is in transit. Thanks Damir!
50 way IDC, SMPTE, Mini TV, Tape Machine connection panel.
RGB to VGA converter installed. The remote voltage display is hooked to the power supply sense, as I don't have an active sense return to the computer PSU. Roughly a 0.5v drop from the PSU to the computer.
RGB to VGA card. Powered off the computer PSU 5v.
Mini TV, ready for action.
A blowout on the echo returns board. Not my fault this time!!
