Caribeno Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hello! I'm finally the owner of a Falcon, and I'm very happy. The first impression is that the machine is working, so that's nice. But when I opened it, I found 2 upgrades that I cannot identify: First one, I think, it is a buffer patch. It has wires going to the floppy controller (pin 14) and to the motherboard. Second one, has wires connected to both EF68B50P ICs (pins 3, 4 and 5) and other places in the motherboard. It has some oscillators, so... It is some kind of overclocking? The strange thing is that there are other cables coming from the little board, but they are cut. And, of course, there is the fact the fan was removed to put this little board. Any clues? Thanks, Andres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's GND (0V) on the chip The circuit itself is purely a buffer, using a 7404 hex Inverter. Sorry, no idea on the second circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thanks @snarkdluG . Both boards are part of the Nemesis upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
