i guess it's time to get flamed by collectors!
1: Atari edge connectors are shit - all of them.
after burning tracks of the boards for literally 7-8 years instead of using decent split-contact connectors they just switched to using AMP / Molex plugs
i replace the edge connectors on all atari stiff i get asked to service using decent solder-on edge connectors with split-contacts.
2: Atari used a lot of shit chip sockets made by AUGAT - replace them with machined-pin types
