That's great. Unfortunately the CPU (a NEC D780C)

was re-tuning the modulator (modulator was set too
close to Channel 5).
Sooo... Does anyone have a spare D780C or am I going to have to pull
apart my
Toshiba HX-10 (MSX) and, er... "borrow" the
CPU?
Alternatively a ZiLOG Z80 would be fine. The original CPU has a 1984 date
code, but it's in a socket so I guess it's been replaced already. A
replacement from 1982-1986 would be nice (82xx to 86xx date code), but
not
essential.
I have a spare D780C with a 1983 date code. Mail me off-list if you want
it.
I think the original may have been socketed. It was common to socket
thingss like MPUs, ROMs, etc, in those days, but the 1984 date code sounds
late -- I think the Ace came out in 1982.

That would be great - how much would postage be?
I don't suppose you've got any spare 2114 RAMs as well, have you? I think
the RAMs in my Ace may have died when I slipped with the PSU cable (oops).

I was speaking from memory there -
I've just had another look at the CPU and
it's got a 1982 date code, the Ace PCB is dated 1983 (if that's a date and
not a serial number).
Thanks.

not so long back to repair my PET 2001 and others.....
