Hi David, I too am having a problem with a Mario Bros game. Can read and write to the CMOS RAM (passes all RAM tests), but it won't save settings when turned off then back on. Self tests are also good. Annoying! Anyone else run into that? I'm thinking of ripping out the CMOS battery circuit and replacing with an NVRAM and direct connection to the /CS instead of the transistor & /Reset circuit that is there now. If it works I will let folks here know. And I still get the CTL ERR message below when using the BUS TEST even after turning off the Error flags.

Looking at the manual for the Z80QT pod and the schematic I think I am getting an expected result.
I hooked up the pod and hit BUS to run the bus test. I immediately get back CTL ERR showing 00000010 this is the HALT line. Looking at the schematic it appears HALT and INT are both tied together and pulled high. So the fluke can't exercise that line.
Any way to ignore that error and verify the rest of the bus test?
Oh and according the manual maximum clock frequency is 8.0 mhz. Does that mean this pod support Z80A/B/C ?

Anyone know if you can use either the base z80 pod or the z80qt pod on Mario bros?
I know it uses the Z80A but I don't know what the pod is rated at.
Thanks,
David
