- | It's a busy board and no schematic or documentation has been found at present, and the presence of the TCXO circuitry usually found on a separate module makes it difficult to just remove the options board without somehow providing the missing TCXO function. | + | |
Almost all the pins on the 15 pin DE-15 connector are connected to the rest of the circuit with small SMD resistors, so some scope exists to remove them and insert "bodge wires" to bridge out the rest of the circuit but this is so far untested. | Almost all the pins on the 15 pin DE-15 connector are connected to the rest of the circuit with small SMD resistors, so some scope exists to remove them and insert "bodge wires" to bridge out the rest of the circuit but this is so far untested. | ||
