New rest-home resident: An Exidy Sorcerer

Awesome! I have an Exidy Sorcerer - When it was given to me, it was very dead. It didn't take much fault finding to identify the +12Volts sitting on the A13 line (from memory). From there, the cause was identified - somebody had bent the cartridge connector pins to make better contact - that they did - with the pins on the opposite edge of the connector. It worked a treat while a cart was installed - as soon as it was powered up without a cart.... POP! Every component on the A13 line had to be replaced - the hardest to get was the line driver on the 50 pin interface connector. Be careful not to tension the ROM pack lines...... But - the good side of the story is that the system works a treat - I love it!
