Congratulations Philippe.   It’s a great feeling is it not?.  I still remember 
the first I saw 0FFFF0H!

Remember the INT signal on the SMB can be used for the CPM86 system interrupt.

Subject: [N8VEM-S100:6482] My system is now 16-bit !

 

Thanks to John, I managed to get a working 8086 CPU in my system ! it runs 
reliably apparently at 8 MHz, together with the 4Mb RAM board and on board 
27C512 EPROMs. 

 

My system now consists in : 

- Z80 CPU at 10 MHz (still freezing after the system gets hot... apparently 
something to do with I/O's, I will have to play with the wait states (currently 
1 on RAM and 2 on IO) and check if I need to add some F chips on the Propeller 
board I am suspecting

- 8086 CPU Board  

- 4MB RAM fully populated

- Propeller board

- IDE CF board with CPM 3.0 banked version

- Serial IO 

- Bus terminator board 

- SMB V2 

 

Strangely, My GQ-4X that has been working flawlessly since months, was unable 
to burn a second time my 27C512's (I made a mistake when separating the 
odd/even bytes, and now writes do not work anymore, despite there is 12.5V in 
the write pin). 

 

Hence I downloaded John's 8086 monitor by XMODEM (in two 16K chunks), works 
perfect (expect for the fact the monitor complains there is no 8259, ah..)

 

Now I have to install CPM86, and certainly will build the DOS Support board 
soon ! 

 

thanks to you all for giving me the opportunity for doing such a great project 
!!

 

Philippe
