Thanks for the reply.
I have checked the voltages at the ICs and they all check out fine.
This is a 32K machine with theĀ 64Kb ram chips. I removed the ram and
checked the voltages on the sockets:
RAM jumper on 16K
pin1 -4.8
pin8 12.0v
pin9 5.1v
pin16 gnd 0v
RAM jumper on 64K
pin1 +5.1v this is nc on the 64Kb chips
pin8 +5.1v
pin9 a7 line, pulses ~4.5v high
pin16 gnd 0v
The ICs, components and test points are all numbered differently on this
board to those in the reference manual. Although I have checked the
supply voltage with the datasheets and all ICs are receiving the correct
supply voltages and ground.
I have bought 2 new sets of ram along with another supposed working set
from another coco which I was given some time ago. I have rotated all
these chips one at at time and sets at a time and it makes no difference
to the output on screen.
