Hi,
I don't know if you saw the SC/MP LCDS (Low Cost Development System) for
sale on eBay (Australia) last week, but I bought it. I've been looking for
one of these babies for a long time, and to find one for sale near where I
live was too good to be true.
Indeed! It's dead.
Hehehehe, but it has all the parts and manuals, schematics and ROM listing.
So, I guess I'm going to be busy in the next few weeks while I try and trace
the fault.
It's getting the right voltage, so I am assuming it's a bad chip or a ROM
has gone bad. I'll get the CRO onto it and try and read the ROMS to find out
what's going on.
It came with both a SC/MP I and a SC/MP II processor card. Neither card
works in the system so I am assuming it's a main board fault.
I got a homebrew SC/MP system and some spare CPUs so I can chop and change
and hopefully get this old system running.
I'll let you know how I go.
