Re: Did you buy an MTX512 off ebau UK in January?

Would it be the one without a PSU ?

If that's the case then that would be me :)

I'm not using the sideplate so if ya want it back no probs.

Cheers.

Re: It works !

And the memory is now upgraded to 64K, had a minor glitch as I managed to solder splash the board and connect the cpu /wait line to one of the data lines :(

But PAL replaced and PEEK(62122) now returns 1.

Cheers.

Keyboard switches.

Hi all,

Hi Phil, Phill :) :) welcome to the forum and the world of Memotech. Cheers.

Re: Power supply

Hi Phill, and welcome! :D For the +5V line I suggest you also remove Q4 or FS1. For the -12V feed, to supply the correct voltage and current for the -5V line, you may need to change the value of R60 (the 1K resistor). I guess the other thing I could do for the -5v would be to replace the Zenner / R...
