Gottlieb did solder the 6502 to the board on most (all?) Sys80/80A/80B
boards. However, they did supply a jumper (directly below the CPU)
that, if disconnected, disconnects ground to the CPU. I then made an
"adaptor" board that allows me to plug the target cable of a 6502 pod
into a socket, which is connected to a 40pin dip clip on a cable.
Works great. All I have to do is disconnect that jumper, clip on the
dip clip and I have open access to the board via the pod.
