Use a 2732 instead of a 2532 at U17 on a System 7 CPU board

Steps

  • On the component side, remove jumper W22.
  • On the component side, fit jumper W23.
  • On the solder side, cut the wide +5 V trace that feeds U17 pin 21 (it runs just above pins 13 to 24). Make a clean cut so +5 V cannot touch ground.
  • On the solder side, solder a jumper between U17 pin 21 and the W22 pad nearest U17 pin 1 (the pad marked 22). Using the other pad would short pins 18 and 21.
  • Fit the 2732 at U17.
