One thing I have noticed in my digging around in Solartron 7071s and 7081s is that there is a nasty ringing of around 100mV pp or more every 0.66uS in all the power supplies. As far as I can determine this appears to be caused by a big spike as IC403 (74LS02 on the earthy processor board) switches. You can see the spike at TP 3 on the earthy processor board. This spike goes below ground by about 1.4V every 0.66uS.
I'm wondering what I could do to reduce this problem. Would adding local supply de-coupling help, or would a different logic family (e.g. HCT) help, or what?
