Both. VIA #1 (A5) PB4 is motor #2, PB3 is (both) write, and CA1 is read #2. PIA #1 (G8) CB2 is motor #1, CA1 is read #1, and the switches are read by PA4 and PA5. Given that another symptom is "hangs on IEEE operations", the 6522 is used by both the cassette ports and the IEEE port, so it's a good first stop. Fortunately, I have spares for both on hand.

That must have been a fun one to diagnose - the machine "runs", so the CPU "must" be good... -ethan Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2010-03-30 07:00:08
