IN my continuing Digitalker saga, I did find a couple
not horribly
priced Digitalker ICs online and purchased them.? As one arrived, I
found that my original IC was actually OK, but the cable from the
computer to the device has issues.
I've traced it to what looks like a heavy duty 16 pin IC socket on the
board that plugs into the computer, and into which a 16 pin 2x8 .3" DIP
IDC header plugs into (with the IDC cable going to another such header,
which plugs into a similar socket on the main synthesizer PCB).
The socket has the same basic footprint as a normal 2x8 16 pin .3" IC
socket, but it's much heavier duty.? I could replace with a simple leaf
socket, but would prefer to find a direct replacement.
How about a plain old machine-pin pin wire-wrap socket? I can remember
cobbling such a thing up back when.
