Welcome Dark Sith, hopefully you will reach level 50 soon!

Hopefully your monitor and cassette recorder will work, won't know until we try it I guess. But need to get yours to boot up first of course! Any progress?

What is what?

Yes they both deserve to die for their crimes against humanity.

The recommended cassette player was one of those flat portable ones from yesteryear. You could have batteries or run it off a power cord. Got your email, thanks! Do you have a working composite b/w monitor with a RCA socket as input? If so I could bring one of my super-80's over for you to look at.

the thing that's supposed to get rid of swear words.

There's another suggested mod that I made, it improves the cassette recording. I'll show it to you on my visit.

There are things in the filter one would never guess. Don't ask.

Aha! Unless you are planning on using the Printer Interface card (which contains a serial and a parallel port), I wouldn't worry about the S100 area. If the 0v pin (pin of U18 is not zero volts, then it's not grounded properly. There are some mistakes in the circuit diagram around U18 (on my copy at least). Make sure that on the left side of the chip it shows pins 2,7,10,12,15,5 and the right side should show 3 D0, 6 D2, 11 D3, 13 D4, 14 D5, 4 D1. edit: I've sent you an email, and I removed the address from your post, to spare you from the spammers.

We used to call them "dip headers" and they were available at any parts store. Well, back then they were. I'll send you an email shortly. What chip position (Uxx) is the missing 81LS95 used in?

Would Sunday the 19th be ok? I seem to recall that a 81LS97 could be used in place of the 81LS95. The lowercase kit consist of one eprom and what looks like a 74LS166.

No, I meant coming to your place. I have a spare 2513. I have a bunch of spare chips somewhere, could be a 81LS95 there, who knows. It's a pity you don't have the lowercase kit, then you wouldn't need the 2513.

If you're using IC sockets they will very likely be causing problems. Check the voltages both at the pin and on the board to be sure. I have the EA article but it's exactly the same as the Assembly Manual. Perhaps we need to organise a visit sometime, I have a spare Assembly Manual.

The Assembly Manual comes with the kit, and therefore has no part number of its own. It has the kit's part number, K-3600. The other books I have are: * Monitor Handbook * B-3606 Dick Smith's First Book of Super 80 Programs * Software for the Super-80 Computer * The assembly manual for the Printer Interface Here's my complete list of Dick Smith part numbers: K3600 SUPER 80 COMPUTER KIT K3601 COMPUTER KEYBOARD K3602 TAPE BASIC K3603 OPTIONAL IC SOCKET PACK K3604 ROM BASIC K3606 S100 EXPANSION KIT K3607 SUPER 80 DELUXE CHARACTER GENERATOR K3610 PRINTER INTERFACE FOR THE SUPER 80 B3600 SUPER 80 TECHNICAL MANUAL B3602 SUPER 80 BASIC HANDBOOK B3606 FIRST BOOK OF SUPER 80 PROGRAMS H2515 MOULDED PLASTIC CASE FOR THE TRANSFORMER H3200 SUPER 80 CASE H8402 SUPER 80 CIRCUIT BOARD M2325 TRANSFORMER A2461 MOLEX CONNECTOR FOR TRANSFORMER SECONDARY P4160 16-PIN SOCKET FOR RAM X1186 16K EXPANSION RAM X3607 HORSE RACE GAME X3790 DEBUG-80 SUPER-80 DEBUGGER DISASSEMBLER X3791 EDIT-80 SUPER-80 EDITOR ASSEMBLER X3792 DUNGEON DILEMMA GAME

Yes that is a very good article, anyone with a new forum should read it. Now that HostelGaming can see where he's gone wrong, I'm closing this. Take note of this quote from the Board Rules Any more spam and action will be taken.

Another spam thread. Any more stuff promoting your site Raelian1 and you can say bye bye. Religion sux and causes more division in this world than anything else and we don't need it here.

Warm is norm, hot is not. If the test mode fails to work, you will have to check the voltages and waveforms on the Z80 and the eproms. The test mode is described in the Technical Manual on pages 31 and 32, although it's not referred to as the test mode. I don't know if you have the Assembly Manual, if you do, read page 19. The required modification for 2532 eproms is listed on page 2 of Appendix F of the Technical Manual, and page 16 of the Assembly Manual. Look at the bottom of the board, under U26 (monitor rom), and if you can see a cut track then it's already done. The other mod, involving some extra ICs, is detailed on page 14 of the Assembly Manual. edit: oops, i forgot to welcome you to 1emulation!!

I can see it. You have 48k ram with 12k of roms, that is good. I would say that the characters probably are "?", that makes more sense. OK, now for the dipswitches. (0 = closed, 1=open, X=don't care) A B C D 1 0 X X TEST PAGE 3E 1 1 X X TEST PAGE C0 0 0 X X START IN BASIC 0 1 X X START IN MONITOR X X 1 1 16K RAM X X 0 1 32K RAM X X X 0 48K RAM You can set the RAM switches to any position if you think there might be some faulty ram. The test mode does not use any RAM, it only uses the monitor rom. What happens is that the screen, the relay and the LED will turn on and off at a slow rate (4 secs and 8 secs). When you installed the 2532 eproms, did you cut the track as needed? There is a recomended modification involving a couple of extra ICs. Once you get the machine to boot up, you should add the modification.
