[2020-01-05 19:58:37 CET] I was trying different Z80s [2020-01-05 19:58:42 CET] Not yet [2020-01-05 19:59:06 CET] Some z80 worked others sometimes and one always but the screen is astill a mess [2020-01-05 19:59:22 CET] So I tried continuity around the resistor on the Z80 [2020-01-05 19:59:38 CET] It looks like pin 10 and 17 are connected. [2020-01-05 19:59:44 CET] Do you remember, there was a crossing point in the scheme which became a joint on your board. [2020-01-05 19:59:50 CET] Pin 10 is D6 [2020-01-05 19:59:58 CET] Yes [2020-01-05 20:00:13 CET] but I did all the cutr [2020-01-05 20:00:16 CET] cuts [2020-01-05 20:00:20 CET] Is this crossing really in order? [2020-01-05 20:00:29 CET] Im sure it is, but I will check [2020-01-05 20:00:35 CET] Did you measure with a meter? [2020-01-05 20:00:38 CET] Yes [2020-01-05 20:00:43 CET] ok. [2020-01-05 20:01:01 CET] So, connection between D6 and pin17? [2020-01-05 20:01:04 CET] I used the DIODE tester with buzzer on which I think is continuity [2020-01-05 20:01:11 CET] Looks like it [2020-01-05 20:01:30 CET] buzzer is very good tool. [2020-01-05 20:02:00 CET] Im opening schema and PCB design for ace [2020-01-05 20:02:09 CET] But it has the mods... [2020-01-05 20:03:17 CET] What about pin10 and 17? [2020-01-05 20:03:22 CET] Pin 10 goes to Eprom, 1st RAM [2020-01-05 20:04:03 CET] pin17 is NMI. Should have contact witzh no other pin. [2020-01-05 20:04:08 CET] That has resistor between I checked all adjacent pins and no short. But tonigh I chacked 17-11 and 17-10 [2020-01-05 20:05:29 CET] Pin 17 has the resistor to Pin 11 [2020-01-05 20:05:36 CET] No? Yes? [2020-01-05 20:06:15 CET] Its hewld high with 5V [2020-01-05 20:06:52 CET] That is right. The pullup res for /NMI. [2020-01-05 20:07:15 CET] You spoke about pin17 and pin 10. [2020-01-05 20:07:32 CET] You spoke about pin 10 and pin 17. [2020-01-05 20:07:43 CET] Yes, I was checking and thought to do 17 and 10. [2020-01-05 20:07:51 CET] And got continuity [2020-01-05 20:08:22 CET] I realised that it shouldnt connect [2020-01-05 20:08:59 CET] The 10k res 17-11 will not allow to ring the buzzer. [2020-01-05 20:09:30 CET] It doesnt, but 10-17 does [2020-01-05 20:09:37 CET] Really? [2020-01-05 20:09:45 CET] Check again. [2020-01-05 20:10:15 CET] OK, I cant just now. [2020-01-05 20:10:45 CET] Everything is put away [2020-01-05 20:11:30 CET] But if the solder joint at 11 did touch 10 it shouldnt buzz [2020-01-05 20:11:40 CET] so problem may be somewhere else [2020-01-05 20:12:22 CET] Check also connection between 10 and 11. [2020-01-05 20:12:37 CET] I did, there isnt one [2020-01-05 20:12:58 CET] Its strange, I think I need to check at eprom and ram [2020-01-05 20:14:34 CET] do you need soe ace programs [2020-01-05 20:14:42 CET] some [2020-01-05 20:15:53 CET] If I look onto the pcb-topbot.png I can't see any track starting at pin 17. [2020-01-05 20:16:34 CET] ACE programs: Yes, I have collected some from the ACE site [2020-01-05 20:16:44 CET] https://archive.org/details/Jupiter_Cantab_Jupiter_Ace_TOSEC_2012_04_23 [2020-01-05 20:16:52 CET] theres a link [2020-01-05 20:16:53 CET] This one. [2020-01-05 20:17:18 CET] Most of them are of type tzx, but now I know how to convert them into tap. [2020-01-05 20:17:36 CET] Found adventures and games. [2020-01-05 20:17:40 CET] these are wav ,tap and ace [2020-01-05 20:18:01 CET] lots of utilies apss agames and demos [2020-01-05 20:18:24 CET] dont know what .ace is or how its used [2020-01-05 20:19:32 CET] Oh, I did not know this site. [2020-01-05 20:20:10 CET] archive.org? its got lots of everything [2020-01-05 20:20:10 CET] * heinz quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)) [2020-01-05 20:20:22 CET] * heinz1 joined [2020-01-05 20:20:31 CET] Sorry, interrupt. [2020-01-05 20:21:04 CET] tosec have archives of all the 8 bit computer and console software [2020-01-05 20:21:21 CET] .ace is explained on Jupiter-Ace Resource [2020-01-05 20:21:42 CET] ok, i'll check it [2020-01-05 20:22:11 CET] Dave, [2020-01-05 20:22:16 CET] I got a cold. [2020-01-05 20:22:17 CET] yes [2020-01-05 20:22:24 CET] ok, short night [2020-01-05 20:22:30 CET] So don not feel very weel now. [2020-01-05 20:22:34 CET] get a whisky and bed [2020-01-05 20:22:34 CET] well [2020-01-05 20:22:48 CET] talk to u later keep well [2020-01-05 20:22:53 CET] bed is good, whiskey ios not the best idea. [2020-01-05 20:23:03 CET] bye ;) [2020-01-05 20:23:11 CET] Talking next Sunday? [2020-01-05 20:23:20 CET] Bye [2020-01-05 20:23:22 CET] yes, email before that [2020-01-05 20:23:28 CET] ok [2020-01-05 20:23:29 CET] * rune quit (Leaving) [2020-01-05 20:23:32 CET] * heinz1 quit (CGI:IRC 0.5.12)
