Hello group,
I recently repaired a faulty Microsoft Language card that was locking the system up, reading disks incorrectly or not reading them at all. System worked fine with the card removed. The card had 3 bad TTLs. Both LS367s and the LS86. I replaced both tantilums as well. Now the card passed diagnostics and worked fine. Today I noticed it was doing the same thing it did before. Not loading programs correctly, locking the system up, intermittently not reading disks it just read. I removed the card and the system works fine. I was able to get the diagnostics to boot and it says the language card is fine also. (Which I’m certain it’s not) I tested each TTL and they are all still showing good. Anyone ever have a similar situation? I can’t seem to find a schematic for this card. There are a few other things on the board I can’t determine the values.
Thanks group
