Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Nope. The power supply will be the next thing that I look at.

And thanks for the suggestions, I've got about 50 retro computers, and it's always something... :)

And I don't like how the power cable doesn't screw down, but I have some standoffs that should fix that.

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

And I got the LV powered up. It's a bit touchy, sometimes taking several tries to get it to boot correctly.

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

So I ohmed out these odd connectors and each pair, or triplet, are connected together. The top of the connector is a bit spongy, so I tried stabbing the male end of a Dupont connector into one. And it works, and it holds nicely. They don't go in very far (I took the top off and looked, and they are ...

Exactly. I have no idea how one would go about using these boards.

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

I didn't need it, but at that price I couldn't pass it up.
LOL! Familiar words! You're not the only one susceptible to that logic! :lol:

Oh yeah, so much so that I'm running out of room. I tell people that my house looks like the back room of a television repair shop. :)

Good pics. I gather ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

FYI, I saw that exact same trainer on eBay the other day. So either another one showed up, or groinksan decided to sell it.

I would have loved to buy it but it was in the $300 range IIRC (or maybe it was more...can't remember). I just remember it was pretty expensive.

Speaking of trainers, my ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Thanks guys!

I didn't get any notifications of your responses, I looked for the email notifications, but I couldn't find them. Ah, now I see it, I needed to check it in the full editor.

Concerning the trainer, I took it to Phreaknic in Murfreesboro last weekend and opened it up and ohmed it out a ...

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Update: I did some researching and found this book:"Microprocessor Concepts and Applications" ISBN 0-86657-005-5, which covers the usage of the trainer, as well as having a hard copy of the Monitor in the appendix. However, it does not cover the add-on boards.

Re: Lab-Volt 6502 Trainer - Looking for instructions

Hi guys,

I stumbled across one of these trainers complete with the frame (case?) which includes the power supply. It came with four boards as seen in this post:
