Removed the SIO card, now I am getting in12 78
Is it possible that the SIO card interfering with input port 12? SIO card
is a new one, assembled with great caution and seem to be working fine,

Z80 MC testing
When I use the instructions on page 24, Examine Input Port, Press 5 12, read in12 78, instead I am getting blinking FF. Is this normal? Does this indicate in have an HW problem?

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
The comment on TTL was a generalization.
Also likely any Nmos chips and others will be dead.
That will include most of the parts like the Ram chip, uSD is
plugged in, and as mentioned already most

Thanks Allison. I have replaced the 74SL259 with a new one, but didn’t make
any difference.

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Any TTL (74LS259) will react very badly with overvoltage.
Most of the CMOS may tolerate it.

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Now that the Front Panel is working, I need to fix the SIO card which I think accidentally destroyed during the troubleshooting of the Front Panel. SIO card received 9V instead of 5V now all LEDs are

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
I originally used FJN3303 transistors, which have internal 22k+22k resistors. When Mouser stopped stocking the thru-hole versions, I had to switch to FJN3305 with internal 4.7k+10k resistors. I

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Hi all!
To add another data point to the problem, I'm using DTC114ES for Q2/Q3, and DTA114ES for Q5 (all with 10k + 10k resistors) and R4 is 22k.
Edit:? R4 is of course 10k.? I confused it with R4

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Thanks Lee, a 22K resistor in parallel with R4 A between pins 1 and 2
solved the problem with S8.

Correct. This provides a debounced pushbutton to clock counter U2A.
Either is fine; you just don't want to leave a CMOS input floating.
Or J2 pin 10 also works.

Here is the recommended setup for standalone testing of the front panel,
just to make sure it is the correct start.
-J2 Pin 9 [/out] is connected to 3 components. 0.1uF cap other end ground,

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Nothing is actually getting hot on mine. Barely perceptible warmth would be a better way to put it.
I'm powering it directly from the USB port on my laptop.
Actually I just got a new laptop and it's

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
OK, that's correct. You have enough 5v power.
That's also correct. 74LS145 input D (pin 12) is always low when the interrupt handler is working. The inputs to it count from 0-7 and repeat. If the Z80

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
I cannot get S8 work no matter what. While running FFF1 sequence it is
using 92mA current at 5V supply.
While testing with the logic probe, 74LS145 inputs to A(15), B(14) and
C(13) are fine but D(12)

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Ah; that may be a hint. The Z80MC runs *cold". Everything is CMOS, nothing gets hot.
What are you using for a power supply? Could its voltage be insufficient? USB supplies are often weak, and the

Re: Micro BASIC Manual
I also have an issue with the 8 not working, but i chalked it up to me messing up the build. I will try to see if I can find time to test out your theory this weekend.

You're the second person to mention problems with the "8" key. I haven't seen it myself, and from the schematic, can't imagine what could be wrong that only affects the "8" and not the other keys in
