*grin* Well, I soldered in the socket (after soldering out the initial Z80, and burnt a couple of wires), tried the OLD Z80 first and the result was the same. THEN I tried the NEW Z80 (which was sent from Dear Bob) and it worked..... How a CPU can be damaged (statically or in any other way) in such a way that it operates perfectly except a (couple of) command(s), beats me. -- * Frode Tennebo * It's better to live life in * * email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * wealth and die poor, than live * * phone: +47 712 57716 * life in poverty and die rich. * * snail: Parkv. 31, 6400 Molde, NORWAY * -Frode Tennebo*
