Hello my patrons! I finally am ready to share the next second channel video, and it's a super mini mail call episode. I actually had this done last week (so could have shared) but was only able to take the thumbnail shot a few moments ago. I'm sorry for the delay!

I'm noticing this video is long -- 1h 12m! It's really not my intention to make them this long but hopefully you can enjoy it watching at higher speed (using YouTube's speed control.) There's some neat things to look at in this video, a bit of "something for everyone" so I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for all your continued support!

0083 PicoGUS emulating a Sound Blaster, DRAM testers and a clip on Mac accelerator

On today's SMMC episode, we have an update on the awesome open source PicoGUS project where it can now emulate a Sound Blaster 2.0 card. We also take a look at a mini DIP IC DRAM tester and then try out a MicroMac accelerator -- which sadly doesn't appear to be working. Can you help me find drivers for it? -- Video Links PicoGUS: https://polpo.org/picogus/ https://github.com/polpo/picogus MicroMac's dead website: https://www.micromac.com/products/accelerators.html Adrian's Digital Basement Merch store: https://my-store-c82bd2-2.creator-spring.com/ Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/adriansdigitalbasement Adrian's Digital Basement (Main Channel) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE5dIscvDxrb7CD5uiJJOiw My GitHub repository: https://github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositories -- 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 --- 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
