New buffers have arrived and I decided to take the plunge and bought a video ram, system ram module and a character rom set from Nivag Swerdna.
This would help remove all doubt about my existing rams and character set.
I am yet to replace the buffers, but in trying out the video ram from him I am now getting the following random characters on my vdu, yay!.
I also get the same result with with my other substitute character set so I know that works. So there must be a problem with the substitute rams I bought to use as video ram.
Next thing to do is remove buffers G5 and G6, socket and fit new ones and see what happens.
