I fixed one zaccaria Shooting the Rapids, thought I would fix this with one and keep some record of the process.

1. Cpu is dead, with these type of boards its on or off. No leds to tell you what wrong.
2. Driver board and power supply have been repaired.


I using a leons test rom, scope, DMM, logic probe and schematic.

Looks like someone did some repair. I guess that will be the first thing to check before putting power to it.

More to come

Nice. Sounds like you're almost there... Hopefully Sayal has the 76ls160 out on the floor and not in their "warehouse" so you're not forced to pay $15 for the one IC or buy $15 worth of them! Ya, I'm not bitter at all about Sayal. LOL I'm just spoiled because I know how it used to be back in the day, and now it seems every single part that I need that would normally be out on the floor is now conveniently in the "warehouse".

Can't tell you how many times I've walked out of there empty handed because of this. I tell them everytime I can get what I need on-line pretty quick without the BS minimums.
