Ok, maybe a bad bit in the command register so
I'll check it out.?
But then
it dawns on me - how do you work on this thing?? It's three boards
connected
with "over the top" connectors - you can't use a module extender on it.
Worse, the M7105 Major Registers board is the middle one of the
stack!?? Is
there some secret to working on this thing?? Has anybody fixed one?? Any
suggestions?
?? I hadn't thought about it before, but the KK8E CPU would have the
same
problem.? Fingers crossed that one never dies...
Jack Rubin has worked on this problem a fair bit, and his solution:

Basically he's found a compatible edge connector, and made a little
PCB that interfaces it to a a ribbon cable.? A couple of those per
cable and you are all set.
You may want to contact him about acquiring the female edge
connectors, as they can only be ordered in bulk.? (It might be my turn
to order them, if he's out.)
