Usagi Electric | Minicomputer Part 9: Reverse Engineering the Diagnostic Board @UsagiElectric | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
We’re back into the Centurion today, and boy howdy, things have been crazy the past two weeks! The story is an epic one, and it all starts with the Diagnostic Board and the code squirreled away in the little EPROMs on there. Today, we take a look at what that code is as well as the hardware on the Diagnostic board itself, and start to get an idea of just how cool this little board is.
All information on the DIAG board can be found here (DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, there be a lot of SPOILERS on that github!):
