Replace the System 80 reset circuit with a DS1811 chip
Steps
- Remove Z1, Q1-Q4, CR33, CR35, VR1, R8, R9, R43-R50, C2, C25 and C36.
- Jumper Z1 pin 5 to pin 9, and pin 11 to pin 13 without touching pin 12.
- Fit a wire link in place of R45 (this brings +5 V), and link the two upper holes of Q3 (emitter and base) to bring ground.
- Fit a DS1811-10 (TO-92) in the upper pads: pin 1 at R50 (reset), pin 2 at R44 (+5 V), pin 3 at R49 (ground), flat face toward the DIP switches.
- Keep CR34, R7 and C3. R10 and C14 can stay or go.
