Hi Mike, If the Basic is ok, the UDG (characters table) is located at the end of the ROM ($1E00). Check the ROM solders or clean the ships connectors. The address line A12 can be cut or short-cut by the new keyboard. A12= "67890" keyboard line (D3 diode). And have a special look to the keyboard conn...

Hi Mike,

Something's wrong on the A3 memory address line, on the ULA or the ROM ship.
If you type "R", is there 3 displayed characters ? (to check if the BASIC/RAM is ok)
Type "V" then newline, to display "0/0"...

Check R18-R26 resistors. (A3'=R25)

Welcome aboard Jean-Robert.
How is your fiend Yannick?

Thanks Greg,
Remember me a jackpot game.


Good job.
Happy Halloween day...

Motor speed: Cylinder max speed turn around 1 rotation per second. The speed variator can reduce this speed at -1/4= 0.75 rotation per second. 1RPS(Second) =60RPM(Minute) Cylinder to the motor: 40touth/8tooth= 5 multiplier. Motor to the cylinder: 8tooth/40touth= 0.2 multiplier. 60RPM x 5= 300 RPM 3...

The sound of a picture challenge : Simply link the resistor output on a cheap PC USB sound card (2$) to avoid burning the main inboard sound card... The positive or negative low frequency signals can destroy the sound card ! The voltage had to be less than 5v to avoid to saturate the sound card rec...

In the article, the component's side in the top view is false.
The photo gave the right component side.
