Oops, my obsession with computers from my childhood strikes again!

A big thank you to @Tomswork who's sending me an MMU for my IIe.

I am in contact with someone on another forum in the hope I can also get another complete working board for spares, but he needs to test it first.

I have spares for most of my machines, but the Apple IIe, not so much, so a backup plan is needed.

This will be yet another save from Tom, who helped me get my Mac Classic back up and running again.

Thanks so much.

It's always good to have a backup plan, and I have managed to locate a spare Apple IIe working mainboard in the UK The person I'm getting it from tested for 3 hrs straight and it behaved itself.

I am very much expecting the MMU from @Tomswork to fully fix my machine, but if for some reason it doesn't I at least have options.

In addition, it'll give me a stash of spares either way, something I didn't have before.

You sir, are an absolute star!!

This arrived today, just 4 days after posting from Canada:

And I can safely say that it works just fine in my PAL IIe



Also, after 15-20 minutes of running my test, it has not yet failed either



I'm going to leave it running for a while to be 100% sure, but it's looking very good and confirms my MMU was definitely marginal.

I'll confirm when it's been running a couple of hours, but so far it really is looking fixed.

It's well into the failure zone now and so far so good

[rubber_jonnie]

Well, I think we all know what this means:



I just checked and the machine is running just fine and dandy

That's nearly 3 hours without an issue. It was 15 minutes tops before (Without extra cooling)

I am however going to do a much longer test tomorrow, but I am fully expecting it to pan out just fine.
