r/lisp

Recently, a guy on some other online platform claims that Emacs is somehow necessary or tightly connected to Lisp.

From what I have seen, VSCode and also Helix have support for Lisp. The guy didn't respond to my query, so I am asking here.

Thanks a lot in advance.

EDIT Thank you so much for the helpful replies. My takeaway is that to learn Common Lisp Emacs is nice to have and use, but it is not a must.

Hi,

I need help with IC5 - which is the middle of the three DM74AS240N chips on the daughterboard.

The revision of my daughterboard is B and that chip has some evidence of a (botched) repair, with a few pins that don't seem to make contact with anything else.

The pins I'm interested in are: 3, 5, 7, 13, 17. (count from the bottom left, go along and wrap around the chip, the pin 20 is the upper left).

I would need help probing - simply take a multimeter (ideally with continuity test), touch pin 3, and then slide it across everything else - if you hear beep then go back and note where did it make contact (which chip and pin), note that the resistor networks only expose contact on the underside. If it makes contact with the IDC 60 pin connector - note which pin (a photo of the board with marked contact would be ideal).

I would really appreciate someone willing to help out, if I'm successful I will finally be able to bring my MacIvory back to life.

Thanks
