Hi all
I'd hoped that after replacing the caps, RAM bank 0, and the U33 chip this board might finally be ready to work, but sadly it has now thrown up a failure of all U34 8253 timer channels
(This is a 16-64K 5150 motherboard)
How practical is it to replace this chip, and/or how easy is it to find a replacement? Given the problems I've had with this board would it be easier to source another one and use this as a parts donor? On the other hand I've put a fair bit of time and effort into this one already...
Thanks
David
