Yay! Woo Hoo! Great news! We have S-100 68K CPU running!
Once this project is working maybe we could take another look at the 68360
P1 and/or 68040 SBC?
This is really great news! Please post pictures and notes on the wiki!
Let's get the word out!
Thanks and have a nice day! You've already made mine! w00t!

PS, this project has been in work for 2 years+ so I am very happy to see it
working.

Subject: Re: [N8VEM-S100:1808] S-100 68K CPU board V3
Hi John
Thought I would give an update - found the problem with memory - it turns
out pin 1 of U2 on the board had a cold solder joint - guess it finally gave
out. Reflowed the solder - the ground plane is a pretty big heat sink
around pin 1 and can easily get a cold solder joint. Any ways after
repairing that and playing with jumpers and switch settings I have 1 Meg of
memory working with the S100-68K-V3. I also have the oscillator at 16MHz
so the CPU is running at 8MHz and is a buss master. I am using the short
S100 mother board from the group so it may have better noise immunity than
the 22 slot mother board like you are using. I will do some more testing
and want to boost the memory to at least 2 Meg for some experiments. I
will get started next on the new monitor and getting data to load from the
IDE CF card. Looks like I am on my way to getting CP/M 68K ported. I
have a little clean up to do in a couple of areas (upgrade to latest
compiler code, etc).
