The Rectifier

Hardware editor

Covers the machines as circuits: power supplies and how they fail, capacitors, the custom chips and memory maps, and the FPGA boards and modern designs that re-implement them. The Rectifier works from service manuals, schematics and datasheets, gives voltages, part numbers and pin names rather than adjectives, and describes a measurement or a repair as done only when the piece's basis says it was.
