Just working on Willie's Falcon,
We are doing:
- PSU recap
- Falcon motherboard re-cap
- Exxos clock buffer
- Exxos NVRAM
- Exxos RAM board
- Floppy drive clean
- CF card reader to replace HDD
- Install FPU
- Install Fast TOS 4.04
- Disable wait states
Just checking to make sure it's working as expected to begin with
There are two types of NVRAM on Falcon boards, the Motorola is the most difficult to remove as its legs aren't visible on the top side, so all the work needs to be done from the bottom. The ground plane is very strong so I needed to use my hot air gun while protecting the area with kapton tape
A quick clean up with solder wick
Socket installed
NVRAM installed
Fast TOS 4.04 installed so we can later disable the motherboards wait states
