WD - PCB replacement + pictures

[submix8c]

I've worked with much older stuff like core memory, or programs that would load from tapes (which were almost as big as a VHS tape) at 50Hz (which includes parity and start/stop bits), systems built entirely in wire-wrap and such. That's not old, that's older than dirt

Much bigger than VHS, much slower than 50Hz, and very little core. (our age is showing )

Great things were been said here!

I am a first year student of electricity and electronics engineering.

It's interesting when we will get to the part of all what you said above here..

Haha this thread reminds me of when I went to college to learn to repair and maintain mainframes, oddly enough that ciriculum was dropped in the last semester of my schooling, so I learned a bunch of stuff I've never had to use before!

No ya don't! "HDD? We don' need no steenking HDD!"

Funny how "old folks" (and 'puters) need very little memory to accomplish a basic task.

(ought to split part of this off to the Funny Farm - "In My Day..." )
