Yeah the dot on the chip goes to the * on the board.rubber_jonnie wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:04 pm @exxos Well, I put the dot up towards the L/H rear corner of the board (I think there was a * there), is that correct?

Re: RJ's Attempt. Maybe he's going to finish this time!
Ok, @rubber_jonnie you can tell us now how long have you had it running? You were just screwing with @PhilC right. Anyway congrats!! Nice job!!

Re: RJ's Attempt. Maybe he's going to finish this time!
Hahaha, well good for @rubber_jonnie if he was as he had me fooled if so.
I'm overjoyed to see that RJ has got it up and running as theres nothing quite like seeing a computer youve built spring in to life.
That and now RJ has fixed his H4, he can help break some of the other stuff. This breaking is time consuming hard work.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

@PaulJ Literally had it running since about 17:20 GMT today!
I just had the idea to use the IDE interface to give it a ROM and that did it.
