When looking at http://mail.lipsia.de/~enigma/mos6581r4/full_q30.jpg the paddle inputs should be the 2nd and 3rd pad from the bottom on the left side of the die. Between them is a mirrored structure which should be the measuring circuit. Close to each pad, I can see something that looks like a transistor that connects the pad to the GND line. But it's a lot smaller than the drivers for the data pins. The paddle resistors are 500K max, but I don't know what their minimum value is. The schematics suggest that it's zero, but that would be more than any NMOS driver can handle... Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2016-10-11 18:00:24
