I have a question of those who know how this works. If you can back up protected software for preservation with this device, can you also write disks from these protected back up files?
The reason I ask this is because I have several original disks (manuals and packaging) which sadly no longer load due to surface damage/degradation, and I would like to write a disk and then put the floppy mylar into the original disk sleeve.
Gnusto,
have a look here, slightly more affordable, but still expensive for a tape in my opinion.

Remove all socketed ICs and check there is no tarnishing on the pins and sockets. If there is clean them. If in doubt clean them.
If you have a can of compressed air, blow through the sockets to clear any debris. Reseat all the ICs and test.

Very strange. When you examine the bottom set of solder pads, they don't appear to have been tinned ready for soldering, they appear to be bare copper.
Also the solder in the through holes would appear to be from the wave soldering process.
It certainly can't hurt. I have this version of the Happy board and I found some of the soldering left a lot to be desired.
Does your board have a resistor pack across pins 8 - 16 of the 6502?
Hi FJC,
great video especially showing the different ways the updates can be carried out. I will be updating my Side2 shortly.
A question, can you do a video on upgrading an original Candle O Sin board from V1 to V2?

Hi,
I have a Xilinx DLC9LP so I can update my early Ultimate 1MB. The problem I have is the leads that came with it, they are all 2.54mm connectors.
Does anyone know where I can source the 2.0 mm connectors from? I've been looking online and can't find any.
Hope you can help.
Regards
I've built my first board up and is now working in my US Doubler upgraded 1050. It certainly looks more professional than piggybacking the two ram chips and having two pieces of wire soldered across the top.
Great work Nezgar.
