this old Atari has had a DMA audio glitch for as long as I've had it. It worked well if I nudged the bottom of the casing just a little.
So now that the machine is out of storage, I stripped it right down and investigated exactly where the fault was. The weak spot was definitely just below the PSU, where the shifter chip sits.
I've always assumed the fault was a bad solder joint. But, no: reseating the shifter chip has fixed it.
I'm ridiculously happy that this old machine is now working better than it ever has.

The interals of my Atari Stacy, the first portable computer from Atari. Made in 1989.
This is with the internal shielding and the original hardrive installed. you can see some of the fluid that leaked out on the drive on the cover to the hard disk on the right.
Some of the instrument control computers and networking gear - this is just to the right of the original control computer

A piece of old computer junk I'm working on. I'll either repair it or gut it to pieces to use for the one I'm designing.
You can safely ignore this photo (if you don't happen to be interested in retrocomputing, that is) ; it's one of those few I upload here to be used elsewhere. :-)

The Amiga never quite died, but entered a bizarre afterlife, morphing into a range of third-party PowerPC machines running AmigaOS-derived operating systems. Here is one in a convenient MiniITX case; it costs about £600;
