Hi Grant,

Yes, I see your note now. RTFM!

As for the video, the buffers are 8T28s and I have rechecked the memory section 3 other jumpers (R32 to Vcc, vias under U56 to connect pin 2 of U57 to J3 pin 8 and pin 15 on U59 to adjacent via).

Would these cause the characters to display backwards or are there other jumpers to configure??

I will confirm that these are the correct connections when I get home, I can't remember what problems it caused without the connections . But when I brought the board up I got video fixed first then memory and finally the lifted pin to boot. I think I would have remembered if it was backwards, but short term is failing me :?

I got the video working. It was the character generator. I found a different file, burned it, tried it and we're all good now!

Just got to get the serial working. When I type SAVE, it goes into limbo.

J3 on revision D needs to be configured, with out the baud divider connected there is no tx/rx clock to the 6850

Bill, can you post the file, so there is no confusion? Thanks!

@KLyball - Thanks Grant for posting that. I finally figured it out after looking through the schematic for a while. Too long, really. Ahhh...

Is that new (600D) Superboard II doc available on-line somewhere? It would be nice to have a copy.


@Jeff. The character generator file that worked for me is attached below.

My 600D is up and running at 100%! Thanks everyone for your assistance on this!

Now, here's more good news. My memory expansion board functions 100% too on this mainboard. So that project can now continue.

BTW, what baud rates do you folks use and what do you use for end of line and character delays for text transfers?
