<DIV class=AOLPlainTextBody id=AOLMsgPart_0_524bd8a6-6807-4c05-8c8e-d6f2bd0d878a><PRE><TT>> Did you use a CMOS <SPAN class=correction id="">Z-80</SPAN>? That was another change I made.
My old <SPAN class=correction id="">Paia</SPAN> came with a CMOS processor. The current draw was indeed quite
low, and much lower than the documentation suggested.
The only problem with this is that many of the i/o lines are floating. I
always thought you were supposed to gently tie them to a rail? Anyway, I
put a few extra resistors in the circuit to do this just in case.
