Would certainly explain the RAM corruption...
I really hope this kicks things into gear, not sure my sanity can take another day looking at the schematics. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :pullhair: :pullhair:

Well done.
At least you are able to find it. I've got no hope with this number dyslexia (fact)

Does the atari cart give any clues ? you should be able to control that via serial..Icky wrote: 25 Sep 2018 20:57 So it’s running but keyboard, mouse, sound & floppy not working.

If the keyboard is unplugged, do you get the constant clicking sounds ?

Well that fix made my floppy drive start working - need to check it out with some tests.
Desktop now shows Drives and Trash.
Still no a sound or keyboard
