A simple tio use and effective component test and ROM dump can be done with the wonderful Backbit Chiptester Pro V2.
This device can help detect problems with a large number of older ICs. And dump the contents of ROMs Especially the 65XX tests and ROM dumping have served me very well, e.g. the KIM-5 ROMs 6540 were read out with this device.
A wide range of ICs can be tested, the 40 pin ZIF allows many retro IC’s, like Z80, 6502, 6800 family and support ICs, many RAM and ROM and logic circuits.
Support is great and fast, if an IC can be tested, it will be added. It is limited to 5V (or use special adapters. CMOS support is limited. But this is not a limited device!
It can also check the 6530 RRIOT. My collection of 6530s has the KIM -002 and -003 and those tested fine. Initially the other 6530s tested with problems at Port 2 (the PB0-7 I/O pins).
The support of the Chiptester Pro is excellent so after some discussions, with version CTPro-5.0.5 all 6530’s test fine. Alas the ceramic 6530-002 4576 has a defective ROM.
The Chip Tester uses a Teensy 4.1 to inspect the IC under test. So it is not limited to CPU’s, any IC with a good datasheet can be tested. What tests are performed is a bit of a black box, you can see what test fail.
Version 2.5 may be available later in 2026, which has better CMOS support. Recommended!
