Re: OT: Analog Computer Comdyna GP-6
IIRC, analog computers predated digital computers, and may well have been simply (and firstly) called computers (with anything else called a calculator). People redefine terms based on what they know

Re: 7854 - No RO in SCOPE + WF modulates RO in STORED

Re: Another A5 board repair attemp - help needed
Hi folks, I was able to find the cause after a very careful inspection of the solder joints around the newly replaced U2521. There was a solder bridge between one pin and the shield trace. Horizontal
