So I received all of the SMT parts today, and attempted to verify that I’ve used the right footprints for the parts. This was a worthwhile effort because I found a few different problems. Also, digi-key shipped me...
Moving from prototype on a solderless breadboard to PCB soon
So I’ve got a reasonable number of memory tests passing with the prototype solderless breadboard. There are some minor issues that are mostly related to the stability: Sometimes my memory board steps on the built...
Testing shows databit 10 is always stuck high on commodore amiga expansion
With help from Ralf on this comment I was able to Disable the memory by no-longer grounding PIN 32, and sometimes forcing CE high on the SRAM chip. Boot a workbench disk, and then break it on startup. Insert a disk...
