@PhilC , your jumpers look like they go to the right pins.

Your not using the ROM on the IDE board AND the ROM on the H4 are you ?

Thanks @PaulJ , I can cross that off the list then.

I've checked that the roms, cpus, etc. Work elsewhere. So I'm starting to wonder if it's the curse of the socket once again?

I'll IPA everything in a bit and see.

I would be lying if I said I hadn't but no, it's just the rom on the IDE. Does it matter which position the H4 rom jumper is in?

@PhilC , if your attempting to use the decode signal off the boards ROM your one pin off. Your two in and it should be three. Why is the wire connected to the eprom socket if your using the eprom on the board?

If your using the IDE ROM, then you need to remove the H4 jumper above the SMT GLUE. (or just remove the ROM from the H4)
