Ooops...

Post by Darklord »

Okay, is it just me? I was watching a Youtube video from "The Power Of Vintage" and he was installing a
TF536 board into his Mega ST. He's also installing a video card. Pretty ambitious but overall he seems to
do a pretty good job.

But...I couldn't help but notice something at a certain point in the video. I'm posting a screen capture
here, with the time in the video included, and I'll post a link to the video as well.

Please tell me I'm not wrong in there's something really off with the original 68000 CPU he's removing. :)

Hmm, so there's nothing strange about the CPU at all? :roll:

It's in the wrong way. The notch should be left.

And now I'm wondering if crashman didn't post his message reversed
because the 68000 was reversed...

I do have a tendency to miss the obvious. /sigh :hide1:
