I was watching a Mike’s Retro Tech repair video (https://youtu.be/hf25jZv-TB0) on YouTube and noticed that he was using a diagnostic ROM in his TC01.

A quick google and here is the source:

It looks straight forward - burn it to an EPROM, insert into the spare ROM slot and switch on. It then does some tests and reports its findings.

That does look good!

Yes, the diagnostic rom works really well, as you can see from my Youtube video! - Thanks for sharing the link to the video. The Einstein is still running well amd is used almost every week! The diagnostic rom helped ensuring there was nothing else wrong with the machine once I had ressurected it.

Thanks for posting the video (and the others)! I would not have picked up on the ROM otherwise.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but...what equivalent for the 2764 did you use (or did you source an original)?

Thanks,
Chris.

Does the ROM do any tests of the Pipe functionality?
