Hello my patrons! Sorry I have been slow to get second channel videos up here. I have a few "in the bank" but they aren't edited yet, so this one will come out next Wednesday, and I will spend some more time this weekend editing up the rest. (I like to have a bank of videos available to release, to take the pressure off, so to speak!)

Now speaking of pressure, there is an absolute huge pile of mail call packages waiting for me to open! I just go so busy between VCF and Septandy -- so hopefully this month I can do a few easier videos so I can spend some time opening the mountain of packages. Of course.... I also have the huge backlog from last year too!! It's all waiting to be edited into a video once I film the old "On the bench" segment.

(This is why the new format works so much better for me, it prevents the huge backlog I was getting last year.)

Anyway, enjoy the latest video, and thanks for all the support!

On today's SMMC, I finally get to try out the Panasonic Omni monitor with RGB! (It uses a Japanese RGB connector which isn't common in the US.) I also get an awesome strain relief release tool you'll be able to see in the future and a load of chips from Poland, including a very mysterious Z180 SBC! 0:00 A Japanese RGB cable for my Panasonic TV 11:44 A tool to help remove wire strain reliefs 14:48 Some flux that famous YouTubers use 18:33 A box filled with mysterious chips and a SBC from Poland 29:28 Bench testing the mystery Z180 SBC -- Video Links Panasonic CRT Omni Monitor Video https://youtu.be/U5xA9iEbai0 RAM/Serial/CF board for the Tandy 1000EX and 1000HX: https://youtu.be/yESy0ygVYd4 SBC ROM dump and pictures: https://archive.org/details/msi-gmbh-rom-chip-27-c-256-sbc-z-180 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 -- 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
