Ah, that brings all the memories back. I'm sure the chips were protected and I had to switch all combinations of input to deduce the equations.

The good news is that I can lay my hands on a board I manufactured and read back the equations from that.
Unfortunately the earliest I can do that is next week.
I seem to remember that initially the ROM is mirrored and access to a particular range of addresses (the jump) switches it out replacing it with RAM.

Cheers

Hi Phill,

I produced a couple of Trump card clones in the 80's and still have the PCB designs at hand, so drawing up a schematic will not be difficult.

Excellent :)

If you can mail me the PLD dumps I'll label and comment the equations for you. I did this myself, but cannot locate the files any more.

Sure, (I'll send them off list, not sure what atachement policy is for this list) I'm not that sure how accurate they are, my device reader only knows about TI 16L8s, whereas the ones on my TC are national semi. When I ran them through jed2eqn I ended up with things like

output = i1 & !i1 # vcc

Which didn't seem very helpful :( :(

Cheers.

Phill.
