That's good to hear Gary. The changes going fromV4.57 to 5.02 are listed as follows:-
; V4.57 6/3/11 Set up an equate for IDE drive reset pulse, Fixed Z command (Last version using MM58167 RTC chip) ; V4.6 11/27/11 Switched to Dallas Semiconductor/IBM-PC CMOS-RTC chip & MSDOS Support board for time & dates ; V4.7 3/26/12 Cleaned up IOBYTE options. Added 68000 CPU, I/O to serial port. ; V4.8 10/27/12 Corrected SERIAL_STAT: error. Further cleaned up info on IOBYTE ; V4.9 11/3/12 Added ability (XH, XL) Command to switch to low/high pages in 28C64 EEPROMS (for V2 Z80 Board) ; V5.0 12/18/13 Add "C" menu option to download a ZModem file from a PC/Serial/USB port directly to RAM ; V5.01 12/30/13 Add PC-Printer routines for new parallel Port Board with ST8C34 chip (ST8C4 = TRUE) ; V5.02 1/31/14 Allow output to port EEH 01h activate TMA0* (8086,80286,80386 Boards) and 02h TMA1* (68000 Board) Do you get the initial "#" character on the screen. Do you get the signon message.

It boots with the ZFDC board and no floppy drives, or no ZFDC board. I'm using a SMB, Serial I/O, Propeller Console I/O, Parallel board, Z80 CPU and 4mb SRAM. I am using the earlier V4.57 of your monitor (for some reason I can't get the V5.02 to work properly, open to ideas!). - Gary On 6/21/2014 12:49 AM, John Monahan wrote: > Dave not sure why your system is hanging without the ZFDC board.
