Hi Dave, I don't remember any major issues with the original V1 board. If you have the Wilcox book and do it step by step as he describes it makes it really easy. I have written most of the major stuff up here:- http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/68000%20Board/68K%20CPU%20Board .htm The only thing was a screw-up with the wait state circuit around U33. The labels were duplicated and confused the router. I am attaching the more elaborate V3 prototype schematic (runs as a master/slave), ignore most of the stuff but you should see how U33 inputs should be. Great you will give the software a shot. You might want to consider the basic monitor I wrote as a basis to splice in the code for the IDE board. It?s already setup for the Console I/O board. Look at my 8086 code to get you started. See here:- http://s100computers.com/Software%20Folder/8086%20Monitor/8086%20Monitor.htm Frankly I found the Motorola monitor too convoluted and complex and way overkill for what we need. On the above page is a link to the monitor and the completely self-contained windows compatible IDE 68K assembler (Easy68K) Runs like a charm!

Andrew just sent me one of the v1 68K boards so I should have in a few days. I think I have all the parts on hand to put it together. Do you have any errata on changes you have had to make to the base board to get it functioning (that would speed up rediscovery of things you have already found). I plan to bring up with serial I/O board and IDE card with CF disk. I will move to propIO when I have a chance to breadboard my design - it is simpler than yours and is a variant of the one I did for the N8VEM. I plan to add 2 IDE CF cards to the same board so I will have the majority of the I/O I need on a single card - don't know whether I will do that first or the 68K board - probably the 68K board first Dave On Dec 28, 1:14 pm, "John Monahan" <mon...@vitasoft.org> wrote: > That?s great on the 68K board Andrew.
