Guys, I just got an ET-3400 that was partially built. On average, the construction seems to be fairly good. I haven't yet plugged the rascal in, I'm still doing a visual checkout and comparison to instructions and schematics, and trying to find the point or points at which the kit has remaining steps. Mechanically it seems to be in great shape: the labels for the case haven't been applied, and the case is completely unscratched. Soldering is generally good, but flux hasn't been removed so it looks untidy. The keys still have the thin plastic film over their caps, and it's obvious that this unit has had little if any use. Perhaps the builder had a problem and wasn't able to diagnose it, I don't know. I have a manual with schematics, but it's apparent from inspection that the manual refers to an older revision (part numbers different, parts changed or absent, etc.). The main board is part number 85-2712 (-2). Unfortunately, I don't have the x-ray views of the board, and the component side is completely covered with a white plastic mask that carries various labels and graphics, so traces on that side are all but invisible. Before I break out the probe, I've got a couple of questions, for those who may know: The 6800 in the schematic is a 6802 on the live unit, and the 6875 in the schematic is absent altogether, and there's no trace (no pun intended) of a location for it. This seems to make sense; the '02 has its clock generator on board, correct? Where is its 128 bytes of RAM mapped? There are also two 2114's on this board, rather than two 2112's and two empty sockets for additional 2112's. There's a jumper soldered between U4 (a 74126) pin 5 and the nearest resistor (part of the 8-LED assembly). Not on the schematic, but it seems like it quite possibly could be a pull up or down (pin 5 is an input to a tri-state buffer, pin 6 is the output to the DBE signal on the MPU, at least, according to the schematic I _have_). Again, I can't tell easily in this area of the board because the component-side traces are covered with the white plastic mask. The ROM is 444-364, so I suspect the source listing in the manual I have (for ROM part number 444-17) won't nearly cut it and routines have probably moved. Does anyone have a listing of this ROM they'd be willing to share? IC1 is listed as a 'LS241 on the schematics I have, but there's a 'LS240 in the socket. I can't visually verify that the change is appropriate, or just a bad substitution by the builder, because the component-side traces are covered by that white mask. It seems plausible that Heath would, for whatever reason, decide to invert the sense of the lines buffering the eight binary display LEDs (not the 7-seg displays on the right, the eight FLV117s on the left), and this would be an appropriate substitution. Of course I can quickly find out with a logic probe or some of Heathkit's infamous "short wires", but I was just wondering if anybody knew for sure? Does anyone have a GIF or JPG (or other format) of the x-ray of the main board (even a newer or older revision), or a copy of the "Illustration Booklet" that they'd be willing to share? For that matter, does anyone have a copy of the manual for this (or near) board revision? The manual I have is from Raymond Sarrio, and it was listed on his site as the Illustration Book, but it turned out to the Manual (I'm going to contact him as well). I'm happy to buy/trade... Thanks! --Patrick
