Hello my German friends,
A couple of days ago I got my hands on a Deco-Brain computer, sold as dead.
It came complete with original box and all accessories except the charger. A few cycles on a modern station indicate the NiCd pack still has some life in it after 30 years! The unit itself shows some internal corrosion probably due to limited water ingress. The only affected part seems to be the reed switch, so bypassing it fired up the unit . As expected at this age, the pressure transducer is damaged - registering a depth of 117m at surface.
Some error codes also appeared on the screen as the unit went through the POST. I'm wondering if any of the old timers on the forum have a list of what each code corresponds to. Just to see what the unit thinks is going on inside it.
Also, an English version of the manual would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
George
