7061 On Board Clock and Battery

Major caveats:

#1) - Can't get the flickr image to show (marginal internet -- rainfade)
#2) - I am not familiar with the unit in question

That being said, if the jumpers are near the EPROM, they might be used to
set different versions of software.

I used to work with embedded systems with different and concurrent hardware
versions and it was easier to have a single 64KB EPROM and run four
different versions of a 16KB app. By jumpering the high bits of the address
line, you could have the first version live in the 0-16KB block, the second
version live in the 16KB-32KB block, etc.

Kept parts count down and made updates simple.  This may be the case here
but your mileage may vary...

OK!

Now I understand.  On my unit, SP1 is soldered 'closed'.  SP2
is 'open'.

As I said earlier, I have the 'AA' version of the Floating
firmware with
TMS2516-45JL chips that have 24 pins.  They are on the PCB
70610505Y F board
which I interpret to be the 'Revision F' board.  There is
room for a 28 pin
socket.  I wonder if it would be possible to modify my board
for the 28 pin
EPROM's?

I would be interested in knowing what board the 2764 chips are on.

Thanks.

Joe

I don't understand 'SP1 and SP2 on floating board are both

open circuit'.

To what does this refer?

I didn't have the time to study my 7061 enough.
I just gave an eye to the pcb's:

The earthy logic has this sticker:
PCB 70610513A
main firmware memories are D27C256D-15 the revision is AB

floating logic pcb is 70610515X B
SP1 selects 2716 memories
SP2 selects 2732/64 memories
on the pcb there is also an hand written sticker : ST/255/34 A0011

The memories on floating board are 4 M5L2764 k-2 with FW revision CA
As I understand these memories don't contain executable
code but data bit patterns used to command various signals needed
for the measurements setup.

The SP1/SP2 selects the address line A11 on the memories for +5V
or Ground, so one of the two has to be shorted.
It's strange that mine are both disconnected, it isnt ok leaving
the address line disconnected. When I have time I must indagate better.
