Thanks for feedback Tom. Will re-look at things. One thing, are you looking at the recent schematic, the RAM pairs and RAM pairs now share the same jumpers (where possible). BTW, slight error (being corrected) on prom sockets to allow 1MX8 UV-EPROMs. Do you have a schematic for battery backup, good idea BTW.

Allow for use of a battery (CR2032) on board to back up RAM as its done on ZetaZ80 with option for external battery option (3 pins... gnd.vbat.gnd) using a DS1210 (allow for two battery sources) Support for large 39SF040 with a jumper on A18 to select high or low haft of chip, this will allow multi images in prom Keep small 8 bit boot rom, support 24 and 28 pin devices... allow support of using large chip up to 28C512 with hi/low select of extra address lines... to allow multi images in prom

It proved very popular. All production quality boards were quickly taken. A second "V2" version of the board was later made. That too went quickly. -- -- |
