Phew, just a bad connection on one of the pins.

I think I may take the chip out and give all of the pins a fresh coating of solder.
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.

I've gone back to basics with my own test ROM.

I've managed to get it to read and write to serial port A now, which makes debugging a whole lot easier with output!!!

Anyway, enough for today.
