In fact I got one in home, Philip, together to my workdesk. It works, but
I'm not sure how could I help you. Let me know, please.

Hi guys,
I've just finished adding a rudimentary keyboard handler to my 3B1 emulator
(
http://www.philpem.me.uk/code/3b1emu). Problem is... it doesn't quite
work.
I can get into the test software, and if I hit a key it'll drop into the
main menu. Problem is, when I get to the main menu, it doesn't seem to
recognise the commands I'm entering. That is, I can enter a menu item number
(e.g. 6 <CR> for Goto Subsystem Menu), it echoes to screen correctly, but
then the screen clears and I'm thrown unceremoniously back to the main menu,
instead of getting passed along to the subsystem menu... This happens with
all the possible menu selections, and the "expert mode" command
("s4test").
Is anyone aware of any quirks with the test software which might cause this
type of behaviour?
Does anyone happen to have a 3B1 and an RS232 protocol analyser (or a logic
analyser with RS232 decoding)? It'd be really handy to have some dumps of
the data sent and received by the 6850 ACIA (the keyboard comms controller
chip) when the keyboard is initialised, and when various keys are pressed...
(If I had a 3B1 of my own, it'd be on the table downstairs with a keyboard
sniffer cable and my HP logic analyser mainframe plugged in...)
Thanks,

Phil.
