Re: [N8VEM-S100:6014] Dual IDE/CF V2a



No probs.  Given that it works OK using a standalone exerciser program. I would have thought the hardware would be pretty stable?

I haven't found CF or IDE interfaces to be timing sensitive given the fairly slow speeds the Z80 produces.

Cheers!

Max,

Thanks and all you mention is good and correct. Bad news I have already checked all of these points.

As I mentioned in my response to Bob, I think the root cause is a hardware issue either a level issue or a timing issue. The good news is that I have the test equipment to look for the root cause in the form of a nice Agilent DSO and a LogicPort logic analyzer.

Of course all this takes time so it may be a while before I post definitive findings.

I have already tested every LS (or S in the case of the 74S03's) chip and they test good as does the 82C55-10. So I will be looking for not low enough lows or not high enough highs and a few nanoseconds of timing errors. It actually is kind of fun in a geek way! ;-)
