Hi Ethan!
Ethan Dicks:
(...)
I looked at the machine today - unfortunately,
it's sealed up with
torx and I didn't have the right tools with me. Also, I'm not sure
what panels I have to remove to get fast access to where the EPROMs
are. Can you send a photo of where the board is located? I haven't
found a link to a service manual, but that would be helpful too, if
there's one out there.
Jocki (the guy engaged in repairing the Draftmaster) sent me this link:
http://dojoe.net/shack/7595-7596_HardwareSupportManual_07595-90025_168pages…
I haven't been in the shackspace (our local hackerspace) for weeks, but
I disassembled the housing for the controller board years ago to take
photos of the electronic, but I didn't document the disassembling itself.
I remember that it was not necessary to diassemble it completely to have
a look inside. I think, Jocki can tell you some details.
Jocki is not on the list. So I'd like to redirect the discussion to him
via PM. Is this ok?
regards,
Martin
