Phil, I was just going to point out your perpendicular reset chip but I see Dog beat me to it. Hey maybe the op amp gives you a 90 degree virtual rotation. :) :) :)

You never know Paul, it might. It didnt give me any magic black smoke yet.

Sods law I got it the wrong way round then
Phil, speaking of the wrong way around you should take a gander at cr16... believe you may have put it in backwards.

Thanks Paul, I'd got a lot backwards but haven't checked cr16 yet.

Actually just looked, you are right. I really do need to get my eyes tested. :oops:

Working steadily away on my H4s when time allows.

It turns out I dont quite have enough parts to do all 3 but should easily get 2 done.

My second one is going to use SMT glue, mmu and a simm socket.

Top tip for everyone building their boards, it's almost essential you solder in the rs232 socket and cart port. I'd also recommend that you obtain a copy of Diagrom as this may kickstart your machine into life before the diag cart will.

@PhilC you're the master of component alchemy... :pullhair: Is there a chip that I can insert backwards or maybe perpendicular to that socket that will mimic a SN74LS07? Hopefully you will have something for me. :mrgreen:

@PaulJ believe me, I was looking for one myself. Might be worth you chrvkomg the datasheet, as there are a number of ships in this series.

Plugging it in sideways does sound like an interesting solution though.
