Excellent! At least you now have a working board you can develop on.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

:cheer: :yay: :yay2: :dualthumbup: :cheers:
That's really good news.
It gives me hope that my assembled board has a good chance of springing into life... unless I manage to kill it when fitting the few missing components.

The next board has some odd faults. Keyboard wasn't working which turned out to be a duff ACIA chip. Now it tries to boot but hangs when accessing the floppy :roll:

Won't have time to play with it tomorrow as out all day. So hope to check more Thursday .
