STF C070789 CPU relocator PCB [0237] Multi-purpose?

Post by Steve »

Just wondering if this can be used as a general-purpose re-locator (not necessarily CPU) For instance on my H5, I need to space some devices out because not all the stuff I want to 'cram in' to the 68k sockets fit because of their proximity. I am assuming the bus pull-ups might need removing from it perhaps? Or not.

Cheers

It's a direct 68K to 68K connection. So no reason why you couldn't use it on other machines. It just was physically designed for the 70789 specifically. But like you say, the pullups would need removing on the relocator.

@exxos maybe a silly question but just want to make sure. Removing the bus pull-ups is as simple as that, just heat em up and take them off, I don't need to re-wire any board pins after do I?
