Hello Rich,
I have just completed my board and can tell you of some problems I had during check-out that were due to a few Chinese chips that got into my mix. So, I got mine to count with the left digits but I cannot remember what the display was before I set all my jumpers.
What do you have now jumped? All chips installed?
This is what I have (for 3.5" drives):
J5, J13, K1, J8, J11, K15 (top 2 pins)
P79 5-8 (note the pin numbering! bottom left is #1)
P78 1-2, 11-12-8, 15-16 (bottom left is #1)
With this jumpering my board counts on the left digits and the right is all Zeros.
let me know how this works out for you.
Thomas

All —
I finished building the ZFDC and I have a question about the codes on the displays. Part of the test procedure says that you should see “3” in the right-most digit. Then, you replace the test ROM with the firmware and the two left digits should count to FF and roll-over (they do) but the remaining three should all have “0”. On mine, the last digit still shows “3”.
What does this mean? I still have to get the test program running and to pull an 8” drive from the attic, but I’m wondering if this is significant in some way.
Thanks!
Rich
