If you don’t get back to the Z80 with 74Sxx’s the 74Fxx’s probably will not 
work. S’s are faster, just sink a lot of input 2-3 TTL’s I think.

 

With your parallel port setup, remove the K4 jumper completely on the SMB-V2.  
Be sure P36 has 1-2 & 3-4. With a logic probe show that you can lower the 1-2 
jumper by outputting a 1 on bit 0 with the  Z80. The 80386 should switch in.  
Them within your 80386 monitor output a 0 on bit 1. Check the P36, 1-2 jumper 
now returns high. The Z80 should come back on.  Do you get this?

John -

Not much time to play today (too much snow!).

Switching SMBv2 K3 8<-->16 bits makes no difference.

I don't have a 74F138 or 74F10 here, but have ordered them.  Should be here 
midweek weather permitting.

I did have 74S138 and 74S10 - unfortunately the problem persisted with them.

I jumpered the parallel port board for ECh--EFh so I could use the output LED's 
to see what the ports should contain. 

I can set and clear the EE,01/00 bit fine on the parallel port board, but it 
stays "stuck on" with the SMBv2 board.

Perhaps the following might help Gary…

In my travels is working with the 80486-40 I noticed that with one (of my two) 
SMB-V2’s it would not switch back to the Z80 using the Output a 1 to bit 0 of 
port 0EEH.   

 

However if  I jumpered K3 2-3 so it used only 8 bit port addressing and that 
immediately corrected the problem.

 

When I set K3 to 1-2 (16 bit port addressing) the problem returned.   I 
suspected the problem is U31B is not getting the address lines up in time on 
its pin 5 to clock the correct data into U33.    If I use a 74F138 for U27 and 
a 74F10 for U18 the problem disappeared.  I.e. I could always switch back to 
the Z80.

 

Could you try these in your system.

 

John
