The last few days, I've been fiddling with my broken VIC and C64. I was about to pick up another C64 motherboard (from the PET place), but found none that was fully functional, so I didn't bother. After all, I have a functional C64C.
Anyway, I decided to power on my old breadbox 64 to see if I could diagnose an error.. Lo and behold, it boots up just fine! Keyboard works, disk drive works, memory works. It seems the previous fault might've been with the PSU I used back then, not delivering enough power out of a sudden.
So, now I have gone from one to two C64:s, and from one to two or three VIC-20:s. I think I should nick-name this old breadbox "Jesus", because it just ascended from the dead without no outer changes, not even need to change the fuse...
