I'd pay $99 for one, but it would have to through a different channel
than eBay.

That's more than I'd _like_ to pay, but I don't have a lot of data to
compare it with...

By accident, I just now restored an ADM3 (not the "A")!
Lowercase ROM was made with an pin-rearranged 2706 EPROM.
Additional RAM was inserted, DIP switches were set: works perfectly.

However, with lowercase ROM installed and DIP switches set, but extra 
RAM missing,
the Space "0x20" was displayed as a " ` ".
So I think you have an RAM issue.
Perhaps cleaning the socketed extra RAM helps?

Joerg



Thanks - that sounds like my symptoms exactly. I'll check out the RAM.

Well, there you go. The sockets for two 2102 RAM chips are empty! 

Anybody have a couple of these guys they can spare, or a quick pointer
on where to buy them?

Thanks all, esp. Joerg for the tip!

There were bids on them, hopefully they go to home flight simulator
nerds 
that will entertain us with videos on youtube of them running inside
their 
houses!

I was at the facility briefly to help out another lister with prepping
his lot for shipment. The GP4 is being dismantled for scrap. About half
the racks are already empty. 

With a little bit of cash beer money and some wrench work, the panel you
see in IMG_5535 is now in the backseat of my car. It will likely be all
gone by EOD on Friday.
