I'm not real familiar with those devices, so maybe you can address something
that I've been curious about for a while...?
We used to do a LOT of c64 repairs way back when, and every one of those
beasts had a "906114" PLA in it that as I understand it was an 82S100 part.
And it was a very common failure item, resulting more often than not in a
blank screen or perhaps some bizarre display. Any idea as to why that should
fail so often?
The rest of the machine wasn't anything particularly unusual, 6500-series
parts and LSTTL and RAM would about cover it.
