Cube Quest PCB, most pictures taken December 17, 2006

CLICK ON ANY PICTURE FOR A HIGH RESOLUTION (ZOOM-ABLE) VIEW

Contact joemagiera@ameritech.net for any questions or other pictures desired.

I THINK MOST PICTURES PRESENTED HERE ARE BETTER THAN THE FILE PHOTOS OF THE CUBE QUEST PCB PICTURES ON THE DLP WEB SITE (THEY ARE CLOSER UP PHOTOS, AND A HIGHER RESOLUTION).
IF ANYONE FROM THE DLP STAFF IS INTERESTED, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GRAB ANY PHOTOS PRESENTED HERE TO UPDATE THOSE ON DLP.
IF DLP DOES TAKE ANY PHOTOS, CLICK ON EACH PICTURE TO GRAB THE HIGH RESOLUTION VERSION, OR JUST GO TO THE MAIN FOLDER AND THEY CAN BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THERE.

Cube Quest PCB, front of cage <---The full cage (front left view).
Cube Quest PCB, back of cage <---The full cage (back left view).
Cube Quest PCB, I/O board <---This is the I/O board. This is mounted on the back outside of the cage.
Cube Quest PCB, Audio Amp board <---This is the Audio Amp board. This is mounted on the left outside of the cage.

THIS BOARD IS MISSING FROM DLP PICTURES. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PIC TO GET THE HIGH RESOLUTION VIEW AND GRAB IT FOR THE DLP WEB SITE. (At a minimum, this picture should be taken as it is not currently present on DLP).
Cube Quest PCB, Mother/Sounds board <---This is the Mother/Sounds board. This is the first of four boards (from the left) in the slots on the inside of the cage.

The battery is located on this board, just to the right of middle at the top, you can see the board labeled battery there. Fourtunately there is no battery acid damage on the board (quite amazing, as it was the orignal battery).

If you look just above the 4 large IC's that are on the bottom, just to the right of the middle, you can see where the board is etched "Mother / Sounds".

NOTE, DLP IDENTIFIES THIS BOARD WITH THE GENERIC TERM "main board". HOWEVER, THIS BOARD HAS THE ETCHED WORDS "MOTHER/SOUNDS" ON THE BOARD. I THINK THE DLP SHOULD UPDATE THIS TO MORE ACCURATELY REFLECT THE NAME.
Cube Quest PCB, EPROM board <---This is the EPROM board. This board is mounted to the top of the Mother/Sounds board as a satellite/daughter board. So technically this is the furtherest board on the left on the inside of the cage. However, it does not have any rail slots of it's own in the cage.
Cube Quest PCB, Rotate Video board <---This is the Rotate Video board. This is the second of four boards (from the left) in the slots on the inside of the cage.
Cube Quest PCB, Line Drawer board <---This is the Line Drawer board. This is the third of four boards (from the left) in the slots on the inside of the cage.
Cube Quest PCB, Fill board <---This is the Fill board. This is the fourth (and last) of four boards (from the left) in the slots on the inside of the cage.
Cube Quest PCB, inside PCB cage door sheet <---This is a sheet that was taped to the inside of the PCB cage door (if you look closely at the cage door in the first picture, you can still see tape marks). I have trimmed this to save space (no text was cut).
You can click on it to see the full untrimmed sheet. It is an 8.5" X 14" sheet of paper.

There was a another sheet taped to the outside of the front door, but in my case is was ripped away, only a little corner remained. Bummer! If you have this, I'd like to see what information was there.
