Afternoon all,
Sorry I've not been around much of late. A lot of things on my plate at the moment with more to come, so not a lot of hobby time.
However I was keen to get my STFM board stable to help me with other projects & to follow up on a bug report for DSTB1.
Symptoms were that it would occasionally refuse to boot after being moved unitl you'd done a little rain dance, move it a bit more, jiggle it some etc. It was also sensitive to percussion.
Here's how things unfolded:-
Cheers,
BW

Iffy MMU connection... Been there, done that. With experience I would have popped and cleaned the PLCC chips first of all. :-)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
