Craig,

 

It's been a while since you posted any new videos. Looking forward to seeing
more.

 

I wanted to let you know I revived another board using the PROM socket to
Serial board. This is a great tool and I have developed the code for
searching for any onboard ram. 

 

This board is a Multibus Z80 with 8K Prom and 56K dynamic ram that I got for
$22 from ebay. No schematics, (and no onboard serial port) but realizing the
prom must be at 0 to boot, the ram search code was placed there and 

Showed 56K ram and where it was addressed. Then I ported your SBC-85
confidence code, with the driver I wrote to use the prom adapter for serial
i/o (CI/CO routines) and your confidence code now has another home on the
board.

 

I am looking to revive another multibus 4 port serial card using the
Signetics SCN2651 serial interface and plan on the confidence code using
this board for serial i/o.

 

This is a great tool for reviving these boards. Thank you again for making
this available!!!

 

I really should be building another prom socket board.as I have another std
bus board to revive. As you can see, I have added the board to my toolkit
for working on legacy hardware and will continue to use it.

 

Hope you are well.

 

Regards,

 

George
