    California SFBA - need to borrow or buy an ICE for 6800 Atari pinball board

    I forgot I had an HP 1630D. It's working well. Just can't power it off cause I can't save my configuration. But at least I can take a photo of the screen in case of accidental power off. Board is up and running now. Had to replace one of the decoder chips as well as the 6800.

    California SFBA - need to borrow or buy an ICE for 6800 Atari pinball board

    Hi, I have a project to bring up a prototype Atari pinball board that uses a 6800. Using a Saleae logic 16 I've been able to see it come out of reset and then clear a bunch of ram but then seems to get lost after I believe it is jsr to a routine. Thanks to Al, who dumped the proms and provided...

    Managing your retro projects...tips?

    California Wanted 1/2 ST506 drives

    So far the two that I have tested have crash problems. Was able to scrape most of the data from one 20M drive, Most of the errors were on the inner cylinders. On the second drive one whole surface was unreadable. This might not be a surface problem so I'm going to save that drive for looking at...

    SMD disk drive testing

    Thanks for the link to the spec. There are no commands to query geometry. It appears that a controller can get cylinder count by setting cylinder address and seeing if it reports error. It can get sector count by counting pulses between index pulses. Head selection though doesn't seem to have a...

    SMD disk drive testing

    I'll look to see what controllers might be installed. Maybe this is nieve but does the SMD spec support a geometry query? The tester that I borrowed only has preprogrammed drive specs for older drives. And it doesn't seem to allow me to edit them. I'm able to get the tester to do some basic...
