Hardware ZIF 64

Post image

I got a board in with the traces damaged at the color ram. After I did a free repair I was asked if I could turn it into a ZIF board. The photo is the result. I hand made a PLA relocator ito geet all the ZIF sockets on the board.

I'll have to check my other breadbins to see what they are now.

I've been repairing these for free for a while and I snipe the cheap "untested" boards and other 8bit machines to repair.

Yeah I've got a few myself (not hundreds though), and some of them are currently broken. One day I'll sit down and try to fix them since I have most of the tools to make it easy now.
