Hi Folks!
I've spent the past couple of weeks working on restoring the Mark-8 boards I picked up and after re-flowing the solder on a couple of connections and adding two small bodge wires to fix bad connections on an IC, I have a working Mark-8. Yay! I didn't want to remove the original switch panel nor did I want to use them as they are pretty poor quality so I decided to fit a new set in the base along with the new switch mode PSU. Also wired up the I/O ports to the rear of the base, using the same connections / pinout as the SCELBI (So I can use the same peripherals from my 8B replica)
Only job left to do is add a couple of vent holes to the top of the cover and figure out what interesting things I can get it doing
Cheers,
Dave
