    • Open it carefully because of the 2 keyboard flat cables.

    • Those flat cables are very problematic

    • Microprocessor

    • Rom

    • Eprom

    • Ram

    • Oscilator 555. Works as an PWM 5 Volt power supply to the micropocessor.

    • Spare space for an audio integrated circuit. It was never implemented in producion in this model.

    • Voltage regulator 7805

    • Frequency divider = 6,5Mhz used for video and 3,25Mhz used for actual clock.

    Olá Rodrigo, tudo bem?

    Tenho um TK 85 com 16 KB TB, e quero aumentar a memória pra 48 KB trocando as memórias 4116 por 4164.

    Mas encontrei três tipos dessa memoria, com terminações no nome, de -10, -12 e -15.

    Já viu fotos da placa original com 48K?

    Sabe qual a Microdigital usou?
