This might be more of a Vectorlist question, but I thought I might try here.
Right now I'm using a 100% working Omega Race boardset to make sure I have the correct setup using the Fluke 9010a and Z80 Pod.
First of all, the boardset just won't run with the Z80 Pod. I can see that the Reset line is pulsing. It won't run if I disable the watchdog circuit either. *sometimes* I can get it to do a Quick Ram Test successfully. Other times I get data error messages and if I do a bus test it will report a bunch of data lines tied together. Of course, if I put a normal z80 processor back in the game works perfectly fine.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows how to properly setup an Omega Race boardset for troubleshooting with the Fluke 9010a and Z80 pod. This Pod should be working fine since I used it recently on a Pac-Man.
thanks
Matt
This board requires a Z80A CPU, perhaps your Z80 pod CPU is too slow? Try installing a Z80A in the pod (I run a Z80B)... I do know that with pin 8 of RP4 cut and the board side tied high, that I can run the RAM, ROM and I/O tests successfully on an OR that is STILL on my bench. Flacky problems were caused by a bad ground connection to a buffer.
