Yes. I plan on it. I'll probably make another version that uses dip on both sides as well for people that don't want to cut a cable and add the idc connectors.

I'm in the process of building one myself. I decided to build an ascii keyboard rather than try and source one and troubleshoot. I had to add a bodge wire for the no-dma as it wouldn't take a bridge which I attribute to the cheaper boards. Cheers to you!

One thought, some of the video issue may be that the monitor isn't self terminating. Old monitors would have to have their loop outs terminated with a 75 ohm resister plug or else would suffer from all sorts of signal trouble. Don't know if that's the issue here, but the way the lines turned wavy reminded me of it.
@RetroHackShack3 жыл бұрын
That's a good idea. However, it does have that terminator switch in the back and I tried it both ways without much of a difference. Also, the Apple IIe didn't display any issues in either mode.
@davidtuomi83613 жыл бұрын
@@RetroHackShack Very good, I didn't notice the switch while watching the video. You might could verify the switch is making contact, but more than likely it works fine and termination isn't the issue. Sounds like the trimmer pots were the fix.

Just watching the video. This definitely needs more investigation and more people should know about this. The issue seems to be with carbon film pots and the fact that the D5 is 95% solvent, so be careful folks!

I'm not a big Apple fan, but this video is oddly satisfying... It's a lot to go through to get a keyboard from an Apple II+ working on a replica Apple 1. You might have come out better just gettings some Cherry switches and building a keyboard (those switches you "resprung" will eventually fatigue again). Yeah, it's a bit more expensive, but would be better long-term.

Yes. These do exist and you can build them from scratch if you want. Personal preference on which way you want to go with any of these accessories.

Deoxit D5 contains a lubricant, which attracts dust and debris. It's the worst thing to use for potentiometers. You should use contact cleaner that does not leave a residue. All you did was spray gunk into those pots.
@RetroHackShack2 жыл бұрын
I used the green stuff too. Which is made specifically for pots. It didn't help.
@richardkelsch36402 жыл бұрын
@@RetroHackShack Sometimes you have to desolder the pots, disassemble them and carefully clean them, then reassemble them. That can be beyond some people's "pay grade", but the way those pots were manufactured does not make them easy to clean just by squirting them in place. Others may just get a brand new replacement and be done with it. One that perfectly fits would be difficult, but one that works would not be difficult.
