TJBChris | TRS-80 Model 12 Diagnostic Test Fixture and Diagnostic Spacer @TJBChris | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
More new hardware for your "Big Tandy" system! The Tandy Emeritus Diagnostic Spacer and Test Fixture allow you to bring the bus out of your TRS-80 Model II, 12, 16, 16B and Tandy 6000 for easy diagnostics and prototyping. I go through the entire process of building, assembling, and using the Diagnostic Spacer and Test Fixture with my TRS-80 Model 12.
** There are quite a few times where the camera loses focus. Sorry. **
