New Sockets For Old
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 1:38 pm
Hi,
I was replacing a 68008 CPU in a QL and I accidently pulled the top of the CPU socket. I was going to fit a new 48 pin socket.
But 2 things struck me, the new socket is not the same height of the old socket and the new socket is not Red.
Fitting the new socket willl make the height of the CPU the same of as 8301 and the socket is not Red, but this makes it not a tradition QL.
Does this matter?
Turned Pin or non-Turn Pin socket?
