Had some time to work with my v.3 IDE/CF card today after completing 
assembly.

My first experiments were using Josh's JAIR board. However I believe the 
JAIR uses, by default, I/O ports at 030h which is where my GAL was burnt 
for me by Gary. I get the signon message and initializing then locks up.

I have a CompuPro system running 8" FDDs with an 8085 / 88 card. Same 
results hangs after signon / initializing message. Interestingly SURVEY.COM 
locks up on the CompuPro after not displaying port 030h that I believe the 
IDE/CF is configured for. Note test I ran at beginning of this thread seems 
to indicate GAL is responding to port 030h.

I did install the 1k pullup R118. For U110 I used DM74S04N. I tried with 
reset empty and on the right most two pins.

Any suggestions for some further debugging?

*Questions*

- Can MYIDE.COM run on an 8080 or 8085 CPU?

- Can MYIDE.COM run under cp/m 2.2? cp/m3 NOT required for MYIDE.COM test / 
utility program?
