Re: CBM720 heads up

The irq is working correctly ?

in the pre-series 720 I used, the irq was coming from the power supply
when we received it, the 720 was not working

a chip was blown, this chip was used to generate the irq
from the power line frequency

(was fixed by generating the irq from another source)

symptomes:  no keyboard, no cursor
