I could mail it to you if you don't have it yet. Might give you some insights. Also remember that 2 of the keyboard latch pins are used for testing when pulled to 10V. At least that's what they were on the 7360, don't know if they kept it in the 8360 so be careful. K0: Freeze the system, switch to single clock, DRAM refresh. K1: Force clock division to NTSC. K0 looks like the STOP bit triggered externally. >> If you're on a PAL system and want even better speed while not caring >> about the video output at all, disable the display and then switch TED >> to NTSC.

I would also suggest some aktive cooling since the 8501-CPUs are becoming increasingly rare. Back in 1986 I had the CPU cooled with a DIP cooler and used that trick to speed up calculations by quite a bit (well, about double speed compared to the standard setting of visible screen and double clocking during the border) If you don't have them yet: http://www.pagetable.com/docs/ted/ Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2014-11-06 20:00:52
