Hi, fedi creatures. I'm an Atari noob in search for answers.
Today I was dusting off the inside of an Atari 65XE I recently got as a gift and there's something interesting going on around (what I think is) the BASIC ROM. Does anybody have any idea what's that? A repair? A workaround to fit a longer IC into a smaller socket?
Thanks for any feedback. Boosts appreciated.

Poking thru Compute!, March 1983, there's a mini-language designed by Bill Wilkinson! (BASIC XL, Action!, C/65)

Bill shares my loathing of algebraic math in mini-languages: "No precedence of operators."

i will fix the original power supply... someday *fist shake*
for now it's always good to have a backup for a machine i was planning to show at meets 🤔
i have an Apple 12v power brick and a little buck converter board that claims 3A capacity
if i mathed right this all should be enough to power it
hooking up the 12v confirms we get sound and RF now
welp power supply in my beater 520ST died a quiet death, the obvious stuff is fine so it's something hard
running it off a lab supply, it will indeed boot up on 5v only, but we lack sound, RF output and probably serial
seems we need 12v 🤔
