Just wondering if anyone has repaired a 74S471 Bipolar PROM.
These run hot, so I guess it's not surprising they fail.
 
Since they are difficult to find and program, I'm considering replacing
it with an EPROM (which I can program), and using only 256 bytes of it.
 
Anyone ever done this?
 
I know the PROMs run faster than the EPROM, but this is a vintage
computing project, and the machine runs code from a 2716 just fine.

But is the system running code from that 74S471?
Sometimes those PROMs were used as glue logic, i.e. to implement a
random logic function, like in a PAL or GAL.
For that purpose, you need a faster device than for running code.

Endoscopes and borescopes usually have a fixed focus and aperture, and
therefore also have a fixed field of view. You seem to be looking for
a borescope with adjustable focus and possibly aperture. Perhaps
mechanical zoom? Such cameras exist, but you won't like the price.
Look for larger borescope cameras like sewer pipe inspection,
automotive inspection, medical inspection, etc.

Why?

1080p (1920 x 1080) is wasted on a small screen unless you're
planning to enlarge the image for presentation, printing or
publication purposes. I don't see any numbers, such as the size of
the hole, magnification, sensitivity, etc, so I can't calculate how
the imager DPI (dots per inch) will translate into the viewer DPI. For
example, if you have a crude 640 x 480 imager, and upscale that to a
1920 x 1080 screen, you'll have about 3 pixels on the screen, for
every pixel on the camera.
 
>Suggestions please.
 
Numbers (specs) please. Also some clue as to what you're trying to
accomplish.

Oops. 3 pixels horizontal and 2.25 pixels vertical is 6.75 pixels on
the screen, for every pixel on the camera (imager).

Think of it this way. A Win PC or Tablet (Android) with a wired camera
so I can walk and view. With a light at the camera for illuminating the
subject if needed. Look under and around things . No WiFi or bluetooth
involved.
 
I do not need a tiny camera to stick through a hole, I already have
two that are extremely limited in use. One is all in one and the other
is a WiFI version which is terrible operationally.
 
I need high res to record what I see on the screen.

>Hi group, can someone help please??? I have a Sentry safe #sfw082et, i don't have the combination number.. anyone know how to open the solenoid electronically.?? i tried to apply 6v to red black and green, didn't work. the safe is from a relative who passed away.. any help will be taken seriously
 
You're lying but that's ok. At your apparent level of expertise, you
will eventually make a mistake and get caught.
 
Sentry safes are thin sheet metal, plastic and insulation. You can
easily open them with an angle grinder or Skill saw:

The magnet trick usually requires a rather powerful, dangerous, and
expensive permanent magnet. Handle it wrong and you will smash your
fingers. Not recommended unless you know exactly what you're doing.
