As far as the design, Woz optimized it to such an extent (not letting any
gate on any TTL go unused) that the Atari engineers could not follow the
logic or the physical layout of the wirewrap...something like that.

and there's an Easter bunny too.
see my previous post for the truth.

My recollection may be off, but this is straight from Woz, Al. His
recollection may be off as well, as could yours.
And there *is* an Easter bunny. Or at least there was <burp>.

I just ate my second last easter chocolate today. Also, your recollection
and Woz's matches this book I mentioned before. If needs be I'll re-read it
and find the quote. I definitely remember bits about Woz coming up with a
design that couldn't be reproduced cheaply....if anyone really cares I'll
soon be based in the south of england with nothing better to do than read
books at night, apart from work as a Digipaq field circus engineer during
the day of course.

In other news, did you remember to rescue the keyboard from the CPT 8215? I
forgot to remind you last week....not that it helps me of course, I'm still
missing OS disks with no real hope of ever finding any.....oh, and I'll
hopefully be getting some caps to replace the ones in GIGIs PSU.

Middle of England, boyo - you just live too far north at the
moment! :-P

Yup, I'll probably be about 30 miles from you! Trouble is, I'll only be able
to afford a small flat so there won't be any space for dead-machine
storage.....

Near enough to London that I'll be able to help fix your
stuff face-to-face?

That's the eventual plan, yes. I'll hopefully have enough room to set up a
repair bench once I've paid Lee D. a visit and collected the 'scope he's got
for me, then all I need to buy is a bench PSU. Plenty of dead machines to
sort out :)

Oh well.. We should meet up anyway. Surely you can bring the
odd machine down one at a time for repair...
