Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back

Re: unresponsive 492; possible memory issue

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
Yup, I wanted to check out my 2465 X-Y mode operation before I bought one, and now it's too late. :( Anyway, I verified that it should work with the 2465 - IF you enable X-Y mode properly. And that
