I have never done an on-line course, and have generally learnt more from 
books than lectures, but that is probably just a personal thing -- how I 
am. 

Of tbe 2 courses you mention, the first sound a lot more relevant for repairing
classic computers, but it may not go far enough. It can't hurt to take it, though.

I would look at books _as well_. The more sources of information the better ;-)
