Main channel: The sweet taste of success! The Apple II+ clone is FINALLY fixed! (Patreon)
Content
Helly my patrons! What a journey this machine put me on. I never would have guessed how many hours I would have to put into this machine to get it working. I expected this final part to be somewhat quick, just finishing up some loose ends after the marathon part 2, but nope!
This machine refused to be fixed! (I half suspect it'll randomly break again too.)
If it weren't for the fact I get all this support from my patrons to allow me to make this content full time, this repair probably would have taken me months to finish. Behind the scenes, there were long days and many hours pouring over the Apple II Circuit Description book to try to grasp the intricacies of the Apple II. Then so many hours by David Giller and myself testing and refining the Apple II diagnostic ROM.
I really hope that with the outcome of this video series, there were hours of enjoyment for my viewers, but also lots of lessons on how to fix these types of issues. Educational _and_ entertaining? :-)
So, in the end, it was an amazing journey though, and OH SO SATISFYING to see this machine working again.
Thanks for all the support, and now onto the next big thing!
