PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)

[PhilC]

Been a bit busy of late, so ive not posted as much as usual.

Partly thanks to starting a new role that's kept me busy since January but then of late I decided to give the soldering iron a couple of weeks rest whilst Revamped the "geek room." As it's now know thanks to the wife.

It's had a whole load of new worktops, shelves etc and the floor is now even visible :shock:

It's still a work in progress. Now I've got all this space (yeah right!) I've got to get round to sorting it all out. It's slowly getting there.

Not sure what half of this does yet but I'm finally able to join the Apple IIe party, if only its 40 years to late :lol:

Here's a better look at the expansion cards in the Apple.

So the yellow one is an 80 column ram card.

Not sure about the Epson one yet but guess is a serial printer card?

I think I can already see why the PSU don't work.

It certainly did. Now off to read @rubber_jonnie's thread to find out what he replaced them with.
