Maybe you have some better ideas, especially ones that would allow to keep the old EPROM content layout? I'm not quite awake enough yet to solve logic gate problems, but here are some hints to think about: - You have A14, it is HIGH if KERNAL or CHAR are selected and LOW if BASIC is selected. - It might be necessary to invert A14 to get back to the original design. A full 74LS04 would be Overkill. Use a simple inverter with a BC547 or BS170 and 2 resistors. - Now you have A14 and _A14. That should allow you to easily discriminate between KERNAL and CHAR by combining it with the _CHAR signal. - A14 (and) CHAR = KERNAL (high) - _A14 (and) KERNAL = BASIC (high) Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-11-24 09:00:14
