What could cause this problem? A defective cache memory chip? supportive
TTL
chip? capacitors?
Or is it better for me to unsolder the CPU and sell it to collectors?
Any idea?
That's a bit odd. What is this "panel head" of which you speak? The
thing with the sockets on?
I'd wonder if there was some crazy earthing shenanigans going on.
