With my old Apple IIgs I did not solder anything on it but I did have to use cardboard between the cards to keep it from shorting out. Had a card with a "daughter" card on it (memory... got me up to a whopping 4 1/4 MB RAM!) and a card with a hard drive (170 MB). They had to have something between each other and also something between them and the side of the case.Silver-Tongued HeelChris AhlstromSilver-Tongued HeelMarek Novotny
What year was this? I still have trouble accepting that people actually got work done on those 8-bit machines. They seemed fairly useless.
You could learn to program in basic back then. On the Commodore 64 basic was the command line.
I bought an assembly language cartridge to play with 6502 assembler.
Only played with for awhile, before I bought an Atari ST, which is my most nostalgic computer. I used that for BBS access, games, and a lot of work with MIDI. Even a little C programming.
In what year did you essentially abandon it and why? The reason I'm asking is because there's a guy on YouTube who does these experiments to see if archaic computers could still be used as a main PC today. The Atari ST fared surprisingly well despite its obvious limitations.Chris AhlstromSilver-Tongued Heel
Soldered additional memory chips piggy-back to double its RAM to 1 Meg.
You did this yourself? I'd be scared to death of damaging something.
