Well Just look for the MAGIC SMOKE floating around the room,
ITS DEAD JIM :)
I'd like to try to test how
thoroughly the programmer tests the chips. It
can't tell the difference
between a 7410 and 7412, but that isn't too important for knowing the
chip works (mostly)
From what I remember reading about bad chips is that they did not meet
AC measurements not DC ones. The flip/flop works great a 1 MHz but not
20Mhz like the spec sheet states.
On a second note, I have successfully over clocked my
Kenbak 500%. Its
running happily at 5MHz. : ) Although it gets a lot hotter! I need
heat sinks...
God what next ... 12 bits?
