I wonder if that's related to a design problem I
recall seeing mentioned in
the service manual? Something to do with the clock generator failing to
start, later machines were redesigned and ISTR the manual detailed how to
modify the original machines.
The problem usually resulted in a "dead" machine with black screen BTW.
...which is what all of my dead ones do.
Mine are in
easy reach but I didn't get the original message that
this is a reply to, anything I can dig out?
It was an old message from a few weeks ago, I'd missed it thanks to my
wonderfully reliable mail server.... Tony was asking if the Memotech service manual was
available on the web
anywhere?
Hm, I thought I had a copy but I've just dug out a pair of user manuals
instead....but wait. One is the earlier draft and the other is the later one
that has the PAL Specs written by Geoff Boyd himself as well as full
schematics - this should be the book that has the modifications to rectify
my dead machines? Time for some mid-afternoon reading I think!
cheers
