Josh,
What is the Wiki link for the 8080 board? This is teh one I've been
updating right?
I didn't see ECO change number 3 on the Wiki build page. Want me to add it?

Hi Guys,
I have been able to get CP/M 2.2 booting from the SD-Memory card.
Please find the JAIR-Firmware V1.zip file on the wiki page.

It will boot CP/M 2.2 and give the "a>" prompt. (I thought it would
be a capital A, but it's not.)
It does not change to Drive B (haven't tested C or D with any serious
investigations).
When trying to change to drive B, CP/M attempts to access Track 0xFF
Sector 0, which are not valid. Track should be between 0 and 76 (77
tracks in all) and Sector# should be between 1 and 26. I'm not sure
how or where it's coded in the drive parameter table. Perhaps these
are the previous values that just haven't been initialized properly?
I will need to go deep into CP/M territory to resolve this issue, but
don't want to keep you waiting for some sort of firmware.
Further, I have updated the schematic with the latest changes and
updated the Manual with all the ECO changes (see wiki page).
There are 3 ECO's required:
-Jumper for the SD card
-Jumper for the disconnected IC-H7 (8T97) pin 15
-Change RP2 from 4.7K to 47K (to solve issues with 16550 UART and
82C50 UART).
I must now unplug this project for 5 weeks. I am exhibiting a COSMAC
ELF collection at VCF-MW in Chicago and have only 5 weeks to finish my
preparations for this.
Mr. Jack Rubin, I have your board packed with my RCA STUDIO II, see
you at the show!
Mr. Matthew Turner, Thank you again for the loan of your Super ELF. I
will get to work on it in a priority sequence (it's about #7 on my list).
Regards,
Josh Bensadon
