Default Re: DM8678 replacement

Yes the microtan has two sockets for character generators, mine has both sockets fitted but I only had the upper case generator. The CRC might be a lower case variant, I guess I won’t know until I try it. I’d prefer not to do a wire mod to use the 86S128, though I have another main board that I might mod. The other board is not in good condition, all ICs were in sockets but most have been robbed, it was also modded to fit 4k ram as a stack of 2114s and is coated in brown dust that I suspect is from cleaning rust off a car in the garage. The best of the two boards has amost all ICs soldered to the board, I keep putting off trying to apply power to see if it still works.
