Status

• Looks much nicer
• Has run Focal and most diagnostics without error
• Doesn't last. Some components are intermittent and have found some intermittent backplane connections on edge fingers
• When left home RIM/BIN loader and simple programs working. MAINDEC instruction test failing. Had to fix another bad edge finger contact at VCF then able to run FOCAL. When back to FOCAL failing for a while.
• Unclear how much more effort required to make reasonably stable
• Evidence of a handful of repairs made after machine delivered. Computer was expected to need maintenance when new
