UF7 (the twin MOS 2114) had also a few bad cells (3 that I could observe using pettester.bin image). Now for the real "funny" part: pettester.bin shows no error both on VRAM and on the system RAM, but using the original kernel EPROM on UD9 gives a garbage screen. I've tried to swap the 16K banks but no change. Looks like there're still problems. Does anyone feel like coding a much more useful test image for 2001N? :D Debugging a PET without a logic analyzer can require a "funny" amount of time. I think a good test program that can be put in the kernel socket would speed up the process. Frank IZ8DWF Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-09-28 18:00:07
