using Current3 I've had no issues so far.

I was going to leave frontier running for a few hours
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Frontbench has been running for 4+ hours now 8-)

I've just changed the PLD on the revised PCB.. next to find a PGA socket... And finish the build. These ones have the winbond SDRAM on...so I hope that will also behave now..

At some point I need to sort out the fastrom program. I wrote the verilog code in another firmware branch..but not tested yet.. always so much to do....

New board powered up :) Clock still look a bit crappy. But scope probing isn't idea. I've got x2 33R in series on the clock So likely need a bit more I suppose...

Does anyone else get this window behaviour with EMUTOS ?

For example, if you have a small window open over a large one, all the control buttons disappear from the background window ? I thought the desktop wasn't rendering properly at first for some reason but maybe this is supposed to be EMUTOS default behaviour ? :shrug:

Is it the same side by side. Active vs inactive?
