Ahh, @exxos beat me to it!

[Icky]

Yep me too @rubber_jonnie . I got called way by the family. I come back to search for the instructions post and @exxos has beaten us all to it.

[PhilC]

Well, I can safely say mine doesn't boot

[PhilC]

Started building my second IDE board which I will finish off tomorrow.

The first one doesnt seem to be reading the rom but will do more diagnostics tomorrow.

[rubber_jonnie]

Good luck, I'm sure you'll get there @PhilC

Installed my 68Rs tonight, just waiting on the PLCC 88 now. Stupid virus delaying stuff.

Shouldn't moan though, the lack of karate classes because of covid means I'm getting more Atari stuff done

[PhilC]

Well, thats the second IDE board built and neither work so far, which is odd. I've done the 4 jumper wires on the back of the CPLD to match but I don't get anything. Usually I can tell the H4 is booting by the reset flash but it's not getting that far.

I did notice that it seems to get further in the boot process if I remove the CPLD from the IDE board

[rubber_jonnie]

@PhilC Hmm, better open the 2 packages that arrived today and hope one contains the PLCC 88 sockets so I can get caught up and see what mine are doing.

[PhilC]

yeah that'd be cool if you could @rubber_jonnie

[rubber_jonnie]

@PhilC Well, got a PLCC 88 socket, but I ordered two

At least I can have a crack at one of them whilst I hassle the seller.

[PhilC]

At least you'l get one done RJ.

I've noticed that the /Halt is low, with a very brief flick to high, that quick I nearly missed it
