It looks like when I moved the capacitors about, to the right, I must have missed that one for some reason it should have been further to the right :roll:

Why doesn't ERC catch that?

Why doesn't ERC catch that?

No idea.

EDIT:

Oh it does, I must have skipped past it :roll:

Must be assuming 32bit...

AAAAAAAA = 1010101010101010 1010101010101010
AAABAAAB = 1010101010101011 1010101010101011

So assume D0 is stuck...


EDIT2:

OK so D0 bodge wire ended up on D1 :lol: :roll: Now I fixed that...

Addr $00000400Write:55555555Read:AA55AA55 FAILED

:roll:

55555555 = 101010101010101 0101010101010101
AA55AA55 =1010101001010101 1010101001010101

This one looks easier...

00400040 = 10000000000000001000000

So bit 6 to look at next...

So bit 6 fixed....

:roll:

Addr $00040400Write:AAAAAAAARead:00A000A0 FAILED

AAAAAAAA = 1010101010101010 1010101010101010

So bit 10 now :roll:

Seems like loads of bits broken with this one..

5432109876543210
1111000011110000 1111000011110000

So bits 4,5,6,7,12,13,14,15 are all high :WTF:

[exxos]

So a whole bank is duff.. but the banks are top and bottom in a row, not as highlighted.. So there is nothing common to all those bits :stars:

EDIT:

Plugged in the Atari diagnostic cart...


I1 RAM/data line error 0000000000000000 1111111100000000 000008
I1 RAM/data line error 0000000000000000 1111111100000000 000008
I1 RAM/data line error 0000000000000000 1111111100000000 000008

So assume its the high bank in error...


EDIT2:

So the bodge wire I put on, was on the wrong pin :roll:

Now the screen is flashing red with....
