SBC6120 (RBC Edition) with all the sockets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just started on a SBC6120 RBC Edition<\/a> kit. It’s a DEC PDP-8<\/a>-compatible single board computer that uses a CMOS chipset from the early 1980s. Yes, it will be very slow, even with the optional speedy 8 MHz oscillator installed. With a 12-bit processor and 32 kilo-words of RAM, this is definitely going to be a Slow Computing<\/strong> device.<\/p>\n

Lots and lots of sockets. So many <\/em>sockets. It’s quite soothing soldering them all in, one hole at a time. It looks like it’ll go more quickly than the Zeta<\/a> did.<\/p>\n

> Does anyone know what each of the pins on the 6502 CPU chip in the Apple II Plus does?<\/em>
\nThey all plug into the socket on the motherboard to keep the chip from drifting away.<\/em> – c.s.a2 FAQ of yore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
