Default Re: I found it! A very sorry looking MK14.

The display on Vicky is pluggable, I wasn't soldering my expensive bubble in permanently !.

The display on Micky is also pluggable, as that was how I fitted the off-board display back in the day.

The plugs & sockets are not compatible between Vicky & Micky, but half of a modern 40 pin IC socket makes a neat adapter !.

I've got all the tracks repaired, I think.

One issue I have is IC16 pin 1. It looks like this is one of the unused gates, as pin 2 is connected to R5, but pin 1 is loose. ( Remember, I'm restoring Micky to SoC original state, with multiple SCIOS images, so those unused gates should be connected to R5. ) I can't see any evidence of a track-cut relating to pin 1, so was it ever connected ?.

I just need some period style IC sockets to finish off. I've got 14 & 16 pin on order, but can't find any supplier for 18 pin. Any suggestions ?.

Cheers,

Buzby
