This is part two in the series where I try to resurrect an Atari Falcon030 motherboard which has had some damage from an accelerator removal. It had no CPU, quite a few mangled pads and some dodgy precepitate over parts of the board.
Last time out we inspected, cleaned and did some basic electronic testing. It's time to try to get my externally mounted CPU working and start debugging in earnest.
The soldering iron may come out...

The first cable I built in my External PSU video wouldnt power my ST.
Did I get my calculations wrong? Is it a bad cable? Was someting else the problem? Was it all three?
