No and nope, to answer my own questions. The Dragonball and DSP processors are all three on the A7 PCB assembly 81917 within the ORION. And, of course, that is the most difficult board to deal with
Once upon a time when I had a Heathkit SB-301 and SB-401, both purchased already built from separate parties, I got a SB-620 (I could be wrong on the model number) "Scanalyzer" scope kit as a gift.

There is a relatively new ( or at least now in vogue, I suspect good programmers have been using it for years, without realizing the new paradigm )method in software development "termed test driven d
Hi All, There several really great tools for verification and validation of embedded software for controller models and code (no matter whether handwritten or auto generated cose). The correctness an
