Oh dear, it would appear that my power supply is very broken.
I get 110V, 5V, 20V, -20V, -10V. The +-20 starts out at about 15V and slowly rises to 20v. The 110v does something very similar.
If you don't mind would you be able to describe the faults your power supplies had and how you fixed them?
Were did you measure the 110v, it makes me nervousOh dear, it would appear that my power supply is very broken.

Can you take some pictures of your different PCBsOh dear, it would appear that my power supply is very broken.

As I am making a run of PCBs I have made up a power board for the power supply. Kicad files are attached.
BOM is as follows:

3 x https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/63951-1/1130700

Note: This board is untested and may be incorrect.
Warning: This board used mains voltage, extreme care needs to be taken when handling it and the TD830 power supply. Please take the time to fasten it to a secure surface.

Hello There,I downloaded that b1.zip the other day. It's 6800 code (you can see the CPU in a photo above), at A000-BFFF and E000-FFFF in 1..8 order. I was able to get most of it to disassemble, but haven't gone into looking at what the code does yet.
However, there seem to be some inconsistencies in b3 (B000) and b5 (E000). Basically, there are jumps and relative branches that point to the middle of instructions or to non-code. These are internal inconsistencies, not external from other segments. b3 is particularly suspect because all other chips start with 2 bytes pointing to an address later in the chip, which is followed by what might be a checksum, then a bunch of 3F bytes, but it starts with 1196 when it should probably be B7xx. And its last exact 256 bytes are all 3F, with code flowing right into it. It also has B026: 27C5 BEQ AFED, crossing a chip boundary.
So maybe there's a chance that those two had bit rot or a bad dump. Or maybe I'm just seeing data that looks like code. It would be good if another unit could get dumped someday for comparison.
Here is a new set. I did not compair with the previous set, so it is what it is.I downloaded that b1.zip the other day.

Same CRCs, so it wouldn't be the conversion process.Here is a new set. I did not compair with the previous set, so it is what it is.
Same CRCs, so it wouldn't be the conversion process.
It is in the same array so it is probably something similar.
The issue may be that the chip selects are programmable wrt being active high or low.
another terminal was dumped, but the dump doesn't work correctly when someone from the
MAME team tried to run it
I've located a technical manual but I have been unable to reach anyone in Italy who will
reply to me about it.

As it happens I acquired one of these terminals yesterday, a TD833 with a REV D CPU board. My initial attempts to dump the ROMs were unsuccessful however I understand where I went wrong and am in the process of making an adaptor so I can read the AM9218s as a 27128, effectively mapping the three CS pins to A11, A12, and A13.
The way the ROMs are generally wired can be seen in the image below.
View attachment 1258464
The address lines and CS lines are common to all ROMs
The 16 ROMs are in two groups of 8 each with a data bus each, a bus is selected via the CPU using some N8T97N (tri-state).
I don't know where the CS lines are derived, however, they can't be directly mapped from the address bus as there is insufficient address space.
Incidentally, it would happen that my power supply is also not working, any load on the 5V rail, and the power supply shutdowns. Cliff if you could possibly provide me with a list of voltages and their location I would appreciate that greatly. I have seen 5v 20v -21V however I don't know if there are more. One of the 5v regulators looks to be shorted to ground too, or perhaps it's just off.
Here is a table of the ROMs this system has.
Slot Chip MAKS label 1 2 3 AM9218BCC 2641-4904 4 CN7640F 2641-4912 5 AM9218BCC 2641-9465 6 CN7214 2639-6838 7 CN7215F 2639-6853 8 CN7216F 2639-6861 9 10 11 CN7217F 2639-6879 12 CN7642F 2641-4938 13 AM9218BCC 2641-4946 14 C48143 2641-4953 15 C48144 2641-4961 16 CN7792F 2641-4979
