The hits just keep on giving. On the board I had with the bar RAM from earlier, been putting it through its paces, but I have a new issue.
When I boot with a cartridge (In this case both Epyx FastLoad and Mach5) I get no cursor. Remove the cartridge and it boots and runs just fine.
Diagnostics runs (a bit surprised) and it says the CIAs are bad.
This sounds like it, but I also know that these are getting a bit on the expensive side to find nowaways, and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas before I open the wallet and put more money into this one (Not against it, just kinda wishin on a star that I won't have to).
The only other thing the Diag says is failing is the SID on screen, but the sounds plays just fine. But it has passed on the screen before, so I am not sure if the timing of the CIA's failing could be the cause of this as well, but right now the SID works as far as I can tell.
