All ‹ I¹m getting close! I had a ³you idiot² moment at work today and realized that I was burning the EEPROM wrong. I forgot that the 8088 board really requires a 27C512 EPROM but if you use a 28C256, you needed to adjust some things, including how you burn the EEPROM. The file size was 64k but the programmer was only burning the first 32k of it (all 0¹s) since that¹s the target device size. Duh!
Once I fixed that, I¹m now at least seeing some activity. The only issue is that serial output doesn¹t work right. I see garbage on the screen, but clearly it¹s accepting some sort of commands because I see activity. Baud rate is fixed at 9600 by the old serial board. I wonder if it has to do with how the 8088 board interfaces with old 8-bit peripheral cards. Is there a way to force the input/output to the Serial I/O Board? I tried using the IOBYTE but I don¹t think it has an option for this in the 8086 monitor. Thanks!
