This machine runs MS-DOS from 8 disks (Part 1) Adrians Digital Basement 2022-11-12 | The year was 1982 and NEC entered the home computer market (outside Japan) with the NEC APC, or Advanced Personal Computer.

I helped make a diagnostic ROM to help me fix the broken TRS-80 Model III! Adrians Digital Basement 2022-08-20 | #trs-80 #repair The TRS-80 Model III is fixed! As you saw in part 1, I was really stumped by the problems this board had -- so I reached out to friends Frank and David about making a diagnostic ROM for this machine. I posted a companion video on the second channel taking a deeper dive to the ROM, I recommend you watch that after watching this video. The repair showed off how even someone as "seasoned" as me can make fundamental mistakes in the troubleshooting process.... So watch to find out what mistakes I made, and what it took to get this machine running again! Thanks for Frank IZ8DWF and David KI3V for making the diagnostic ROM a reality.

The 8-bit home computer from 1975 youve never heard of Adrians Digital Basement 2022-03-26 | What we have here is a SWTPC 6800 Computer System from 1975. Looking at the machine, you might not guess that this machine is almost as old as the Altair 8800, only coming out about 10 months later! (And about the same age as me!) There are some fundamental differences with the approach this machine takes versus the Altair and some other neat features. Watch to see what's going on inside this machine.

The IBM PS/1 was the followup to the disastrous PCjr and its pretty good! Adrians Digital Basement 2022-02-19 | #ibm #repairThe consumer oriented IBM PS/1 machine was the successor to the IBM PCjr.

How good can a new $60 oscilloscope actually be? (Hantek 6022BE Review) Adrians Digital Basement 2022-02-05 | #cheapGear #oscilloscope #troubleshootingI routinely get viewers asking me for a cheap solution to help them fix old machines, so I decided to buy a Hantek 6022BE USB oscilloscope and see if it's actually sable. When I purchased it from AliExpress, it was just $60 shipped. Let's see if this thing is even good enough to be usable for fixing old computers.I've been using a National Instruments VirtualBench for the last several months, and while it's a fantastic piece of gear, it's extremely expensive so I do not recommend anyone purchase it. --- Video LinksUsing the Hantek 6022BE to fix a C64:youtube.com/watch?v=PyFeBAcg7lsHantek 6022BE Purchase links: (prices as of publishing)amzn.to/3s6xqQB ($64.99)amzn.to/3GhmmoS (alternate, $69.50)aliexpress.com/item/32793431623.html ($61.92 shipped)Hantek 6022BE Product Page:http://www.hantek.com/products/detail/31OpenHantek Project:github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022NI VirtualBench Product Page:ni.com/en-us/shop/hardware/products/virtualbench-all-in-one-instrument.htmlAdrian's Digital Basement ][ (Second Channel)youtube.com/channel/UCbtwi4wK1YXd9AyV_4UcE6gSupport the channel on Patreon:patreon.com/adriansdigitalbasement-- ToolsDeoxit D5:amzn.to/2VvOKy1http://store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1602/.fO-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards)amzn.to/3a9x54JElenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe:amzn.to/2VrT5lWHakko FR301 Desoldering Iron:amzn.to/2ye6xC0Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope:rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000zHead Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier:amzn.to/3adRbuyTL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro)amzn.to/2wG4tlPaliexpress.com/item/33000308958.htmlTS100 Soldering Iron: amzn.to/2K36dJ5ebay.com/itm/TS100-65W-MINI-Digital-OLED-Programmable-Soldering-Iron-Anti-static-Structure/113382669853EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter:eevblog.com/product/121gwDSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer:amzn.to/2RDSDQwebay.com/itm/USB-Logic-DSLogic-Basic-Analyzer-16Ch-100MHz-4Ch-400MHz-Xilinx-Spartan-6-FPGA/202543965672Magnetic Screw Holder: amzn.to/3b8LOhGharborfreight.com/4-inch-magnetic-parts-tray-90566.htmlUniversal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine)ebay.com/itm/14-16-18-20-24-28-32-40-pin-IC-Test-Universal-ZIF-Socket-Fs/303206721971RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI)http://www.retrotink.comPlato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five)ebay.com/itm/1-2-5-10PCS-Micro-Scissor-125mm-PLATO-170-Electronics-Cutter-Side-Cutting-Pliers/163458746184Heat Sinks:aliexpress.com/item/32537183709.htmlLittle squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too)amzn.to/3b8LOOI--- LinksMy GitHub repository:github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositoriesCommodore Computer Club / Vancouver, WA – Portland, OR – PDX Commodore Users Groupcommodorecomputerclub.com--- Instructional videosMy video on damage-free chip removal:youtube.com/watch?v=XQVjwPsVFd8--- MusicIntro music and other tracks by:Nathan Divino@itsnathandivino
