Vicky however is going to take his place, and the power reduction mod looks like it's the first to be tried.

Below is the /OE signal on the 571s while scanning keyboard and display. As you can see, it spends the vast majority of it's time in the dis-enabled state. The /OE pulses are 500nS wide, and the gaps are mostly 3uS to 15uS, so a power reduction of 90% is likely.

I'll try this mod next week, in a new thread.

Sounds interesting - nice find.
