Regarding the MPU for your Dracula - You could try Skybeau (Ken) or start a "wanted thread". The other option is to buy an Altek Board, which PSP sells.
Thanks Nino,
I know that mpu-100's (or 200's) are pretty easy to come by, maybe I should be a little more clear on where I am right now - I have a 100 but it is badly corrosion damaged. Now I was able to repair the corrosion damaged 100 in my Drac, but this other 100 board I have is probably too far gone. Someone else has already had a go at it, probably 10+ years ago, and they both overheated and removed tracks as well as did not clean the pcb so it continued to deteriorate.
I am a persistent bugger though, so with the joy of having a working board to compare with will keep plugging away until the inevitable time in a few months that I just buy another one :)
The altek boards look quite good, but I am happier with the older boards as I have the parts and tools to still repair them. It is good to know though that there is always another option if needed
Cheers
Jacob
I've done quite a few -100s and they can be a pain - but once you go to the effort of replacing all the sockets and installing a corrosion kit, you just don't stop !
