Most likely: CAS1H and CAS1L swapped.

@czietz - thanks m8, you were right :)

- Seems I followed the instructions correctly, but I think @agranlund might have either the MMU pinout wrong or his silkscreen wrong:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/agranlund/STRam
MMU pins:
RAS1  = 18
CAS1L = 21
CAS1H = 22
MAD9  = 64
I did have CAS1L to 21 and CAS1H to 22 as described.

@exxos No bodge wires, I just routed the wires underneath the resistor legs to keep them neat.

FYI, the Atari Diagnostic Software and DiagROM are two different things.

Yes that is the case.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
