RE: [N8VEM-S100:1808] S-100 68K CPU board V3



Yay!  Woo Hoo!  Great news!  We have S-100 68K CPU running!

 

Once this project is working maybe we could take another look at the 68360 P1 and/or 68040 SBC?

 

This is really great news!  Please post pictures and notes on the wiki!  Let’s get the word out!

Thanks and have a nice day!  You’ve already made mine!  w00t!

PS, this project has been in work for 2 years+ so I am very happy to see it working.

Hi John

 

Thought I would give an update - found the problem with memory - it turns out pin 1 of U2 on the board had a cold solder joint - guess it finally gave out.  Reflowed the solder - the ground plane is a pretty big heat sink around pin 1 and can easily get a cold solder joint.  Any ways after repairing that and playing with jumpers and switch settings I have 1 Meg of memory working with the S100-68K-V3.   I also have the oscillator at 16MHz so the CPU is running at 8MHz and is a buss master.  I am using the short S100 mother board from the group so it may have better noise immunity than the 22 slot mother board like you are using.  I will do some more testing and want to boost the memory to at least 2 Meg for some experiments.   I will get started next on the new monitor and getting data to load from the IDE CF card.   Looks like I am on my way to getting CP/M 68K ported.   I have a little clean up to do in a couple of areas (upgrade to latest compiler code, etc).
