I am trying to bring a ZX81 rev. 3 back to life. I have socketed all ICs and replaced the transistors. I'm using Andy Rea's ULA81 (I believe its the version 1 as it doesn't have the Altera chip and only has one jumper on top of the board). I'm also using the 32K memory board from http://speccy.pl/wiki/index.php?title=ZX81_32K
I have a 3.24Mhz frequency on Z80/pin 6 and a nice back-porch signal at the ULA and modulator via. This gives a steady white screen on the monitor but no cursor.
The video signal is 2V, has the back porch but no character info. I have connected the via for the signal directly to the video cinch.
Can someone point me to any fitting/configuration instructions for this ULA81?
And is the signal composite compatible directly from the ULA or do I need to use something like Pokemons CCB board?
