Welcome to Mid-Week-Mini-Mail-Call #47! On today's episode, we have a couple cool laptops including a very beat up Thinkpad 701C with the butterfly keyboard. Also, a Panasonic Toughbook which requires a BIOS password reset. In addition, a couple PCB adapters for our beloved 8-bit machines. 0:00 Intro 1:02 MOS 6510 to MOS 8501 CPU Adapter for C16 / Plus 4 machines 3:53 Installing the CPU adapter into my C16 12:38 Unboxing some laptops 15:37 Taking a look at the Thinkpad and Toughbook 33:01 Using KILLCMOS to reset the CUP on the Panasonic Toughbook CF-25 43:49 8304 to 74LS245 adapter PCB 48:45 Conclusion / Outro -- Video Links Adrian's Digital Basement ][ (Second Channel) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbtwi4wK1YXd9AyV_4UcE6g Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/adriansdigitalbasement 6510 to 8501 C16 CPU adapter: http://hackjunk.com/2017/06/23/commodore-16-plus-4-8501-to-6510-cpu-conversion/ PCB-only: https://ebay.us/sGBsq3 PCB and headers, unassembled: https://ebay.us/udxNtQ PBC and headers, assembled: https://ebay.us/eTgkBB ThinkPad 701C with the butterfly keyboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_701C Apple II+ video repair where I made a 8304 adapter by hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkxs-180IKU C16 PAL/NTSC video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLsFSg0FdU Using a 6510 in a C16 with a hand made adapter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRNb7NjgWTo KillCMOS utility to reset a BIOS password: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/killcmos.html -- Tools Deoxit D5: https://amzn.to/2VvOKy1 http://store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1602/.f O-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards) https://amzn.to/3a9x54J Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe: https://amzn.to/2VrT5lW Hakko FR301 Desoldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2ye6xC0 Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope: https://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000z/ Head Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier: https://amzn.to/3adRbuy TL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro) https://amzn.to/2wG4tlP https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000308958.html TS100 Soldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2K36dJ5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/TS100-65W-MINI-Digital-OLED-Programmable-Soldering-Iron-Anti-static-Structure/113382669853 EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter: https://www.eevblog.com/product/121gw/ DSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer: https://amzn.to/2RDSDQw https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Logic-DSLogic-Basic-Analyzer-16Ch-100MHz-4Ch-400MHz-Xilinx-Spartan-6-FPGA/202543965672 Magnetic Screw Holder: https://amzn.to/3b8LOhG https://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-magnetic-parts-tray-90566.html Universal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine) https://www.ebay.com/itm/14-16-18-20-24-28-32-40-pin-IC-Test-Universal-ZIF-Socket-Fs/303206721971 RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI) http://www.retrotink.com/ Plato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five) https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-5-10PCS-Micro-Scissor-125mm-PLATO-170-Electronics-Cutter-Side-Cutting-Pliers/163458746184 Heat Sinks: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32537183709.html Little squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too) https://amzn.to/3b8LOOI --- Links My GitHub repository: https://github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositories Commodore Computer Club / Vancouver, WA – Portland, OR – PDX Commodore Users Group https://www.commodorecomputerclub.com/ --- Instructional videos My video on damage-free chip removal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQVjwPsVFd8 --- Music Intro music and other tracks by: Nathan Divino @itsnathandivino
