Exploring VersaLOGIC with the Data 620!

In the previous episode, we threw some electrons at the Data 620 CPU, and it responded with life! Kind of… The CPU did come on and we saw some clean looking clock and reset signals, but it’s also very unhealthy. Why is it unhealthy? Well, one potential reason could be that some germanium diodes or transistors have gone bad. But if they have, how could we find them? The first step to that answer is a solid bout of reverse engineering!
