@janbeta another 8500R1 in the bin…
Do you have replacement PLAs?

@janbeta Did you have time to check the broken parts bin for 8500 dates?

@janbeta It makes me so sad every time.

@markkrueg Yeah, same for me. Unfortunately it’s inevitable with vintage Chips like that (especially some not-so-well-made MOS specimen). :/

@tinspin @janbeta The broken ones I have are from 50th/51st week 1984. All R1. Found 3 but I think there were probably a few more that I already discarded.

@root42 I put a PLAnkton (TED version, obviously) in there for now which seems to do the trick. And a 6510 adapter because all the 8501s I have left are broken. 😅

@root42 @janbeta You saw the one chip GAL ones? I don't know how good they are but could be worth a try?

@tinspin @janbeta plankton is basically that.

@janbeta good. I do have one spare original PLA here…
