okay thanks - yes that sure makes sense - and yes I even tried firing it up without the ground wire connected once (just to see) but no difference. But yeah

If the front panel board has power, the latches that control the LED s may simply come up in the state that would light the LED. Normally the CPU would turn

There are a number of different oscillator types. I believe the std MCU one is called a Pierce oscillator. If you really want to learn more about it, here

wonder what happens if you sub in a 22pf (?) surely each leg of the resonator needs to see a different capacitance for a reason? perhaps to get it going in the

I added a small wire to connect the Gnd end of C22, and the PolySix still works fine. Better to have the cap connected. Bob
2016-02-07 by jw_dewdney@yahoo.com
thanks - well it happened when i was scavenging a 10pf cap from C22 in one of my old boards to transplant into C23 on the new one (per recommendation) - but
2016-02-07 by <backshall1@bellsouth.net>
That is an awesome find. After all these years working with the clone boards and problems with C22, nobody noticed that C22 is missing a trace. Are you

I just checked my board. The gnd end of C22 does not connect to gnd. Good job finding that! But my P6 works OK as is. Do I dare fix it... Bob ... On Sun,

I m not sure about the boards you guys got - but in MINE (there don t seem to be revision numbers) C22 isn t even in the circuit. In the original, C22 hits the

Do not short reset to ground, since there is an op amp output driving it. You could damage that. Just check it with a scope (or a meter if you don t have

Hi, Let s not mix reset with interrupt, OK? RESETb on the 8048 is an active low signal that puts the CPU in a known condition, ready to start executing code

2016-02-07 by <backshall1@bellsouth.net>
Did you use 22pF and 10pF for C23 and C22 near the 6 MHZ ceramic resonator? Many people have found that the new boards are very unstable with these values, and

Check the reset input to the CPU, and the oscillator waveform. Also, there is a test pt on the side of the CPU towards the effects bd that I think should have
2016-02-07 by Bob Grieb
You should be able to go into Manual mode and see if the board is working. Then you are using the front panel controls. I replaced my KLM-367 with the new pcb.
