Re: IMSAI 8080A CPU board help.



Thanks, My Prop was similar except this
was how I had it strapped for my setup;

P77   P76
x-x   x-x
x-x   x-x

I changed it to your setup and now it displays key-press
except, it only responds to 'R' key-press.

When does it try to boot to the SD card ?
If you have time, how is your CPU board strapped ?

First few boots I missed it, too busy looking
at the SMB, but then caught it out the corner
of my eye. Rebooted and stopped the CPU after
I saw the menu.

I'm guessing I don't have the Prop I/O set up
for the correct "status bits" for KEYBOARD
in/out.  I recall dealing with this to match
it up to my ver Dos.

What should it be set to ?


JP8/JP9 all jumpered
JP10 no jumpers, don't understand...
