1) 90-odd% of DZ11 failures are defective RS232
driver/receiver chips,
probably damaged by spickes induced on the RS232 cabling
If they fry so
easily, why not change the RS232 driver for something
like max 232?
They don't fry that easily, my comment is that the rest of the logic on a
DZ11 card is even more reliable, so that most of the (few) failures you
get are of the line driver/reciever chips.
So what *is* the correct replacement for line driver chips? Are there
any QBus prototyping boards available?
