1040STF: Bus resistors upgrade and C070789 CPU relocator [0237]

Post by call286 »

As I'm slowly getting into the Atari game and arming with gadgets from Exxos a question for the madatory fixes came to mind.

I plan on upgrading the bus resistors to 2k2 arrays, already ordered the parts.
Also i got a C070789 CPU relocator board (# [0237]) here.
There are resistor packs on the relocator board, but they are 4k7 arrays. The shop states they are bus pullups.

Do i still need to replace the arrays on the STF board with 2k2 ones or should that be other values?
I hope this is not a question that is answered already and my search-fu failed me :)

If the resistors are on the relocator IE #0237, then there's no need to do the motherboard ones.

Great, thank you for clarification exxos :).
Yes i bought that relocator from your store.
So I'll try it with relocator and not doing the resistors on the board.
And i assume i still got the option to remove them from the relocator and change the resisors on the STF board if something plays up :thumbup:

True. But on a STFM it will end up as 3.2k anyway. I don't think there will any any problems with those values.
