Uncovering the Apple IIs Mysterious (and Intentional) Clock Glitch AddOhms 2024-03-20 | The Apple II's CPU clock has jitter or a glitch. This issue is not new—it has been present since its original design in 1977! Bald Engineer uses an oscilloscope to show how often the glitch occurs and how to correlate that jitter to its source—which is useful when you are not testing 40-year-old devices.The device under test (DUT) in this video is the Mega IIe project. It's a fully compatible Apple IIe built around the Mega II chip.Watch the Mega IIe video here: youtube.com/watch?v=gFCD4s_hsb4Related Links: addohms.com/measuring-apple-iis-intentional-glitch#appleii #electronics #oscilloscope Chapters00:00 Stretch, Glitch, Jitter00:28 Apple II Clocks02:44 Analog Video Signals04:26 Clock and Video Means Jitter06:20 kthxbaiPatreon: patreon.com/baldengineerDiscord: https://bald.ee/discordInstagram: instagram.com/baldengineerX: https://X.com/addohmsWorkbench Wednesdays: https://bald.ee/wbwVideo produced by James Lewis (@baldengineer):baldengineer.com
