So @Kitty's Tune Tuesday has a theme of "My Generation Music" from @The_KamikaZEN

Since I (@mdmrn) feel like jumping in...but we're posting from the Beneath the Tangles account, let's go with a song from the year BTT was born: 2010.

2010 gave us the music heavy Angel Beats.

Here's "Crow Song," originally from the anime, sung by LiSA https://songwhip.com/lisa/crow-song-2015%E6%AD%A6%E9%81%93%E9%A4%A8-live-chocolate-ver

Corporate crime is notoriously underpoliced and underprosecuted. Mostly, that's because we just choose not to do anything about it. American corporations commit crimes at 20X the rate of real humans, and their crimes are far worse than any crime committed by a human, but they are almost never prosecuted:

I can't wait to start this new project.

So there may be some progress. Thanks to @paulrickards's documentation of an error on the 2MB memory card, I fixed a critical problem: https://github.com/warmech/lisa-hardware/issues/3

Top pin of J5, connected to pin 12 on 74S00 needs to be tied to ground

At the same time, I added @paulrickards's Lisa profile to my RGBtoHDMI: https://lisalist2.com/index.php?topic=454.0

There are results! I now get this garbled, but solidly static (not moving at all) image when I try to boot with memory card inserted

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

This is what I get without the memory card. So something's definitely happening.

However, I still only hear one beep and one or a few short flashes of the CPU LED.

Soft power/COP still doesn't work.

With a 74HC573 (which was missing in my COP adapter!) the now has working soft power (had HC on hand instead of 74LS573, seems like I got lucky)

Woot we have a first boot!!

CPU and memory pass tests, but it is getting stuck on IO test with error 57

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

So here's the state:

  • this happens with a FloppyEMU connected

  • keyboard doesn't seem to work

  • mouse works and I can select Startup from

  • I can then select the floppy drive for startup

  • but floppyemu shows no attempt to read an image, and then I get error 39

  • meanwhile, ArduinoFile doesn't get detected at all

  • I'm using @paulrickards breakout board for the floppy and keyboard, need to check it

We've got keyboard! I missed the 3.3k pull down resistor (smh), so now that I have it, and keyboard works, I can enter service mode.

I'm using the M0110 keyboard (sans numpad) so I'll need to remap some keys..

Finally, a update

After a long wait, I got some 8T97s to replace the 74LS367 and... No effect. I'm still getting stuck at IO error 57.

However, I decided to expand my troubleshooting area, and I noticed that the two 2114 RAM chips on the IO board were getting hot. Scoping them out showed that a couple of pins seemed to be stuck high.

Luckily, for once I actually had some spare chips. With 2114s replaced, I'm still getting the error, but suddenly I see 2 floppy drive option instead of 1

Ok this is really esoteric computing, but I actually managed to start booting from a floppy, for a second...

Woot I can get it to boot and crash!

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

So I'll try to explain what's going on here, but like I said it is esoteric. I'm more and more convinced that the primary issue here is with memory, in addition to the actual SRAM problem on the IO board which I fixed

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

I'm using the 2MB RAM card in this Lisa clone. However, it only successfully boots with 512K.

If I put 1MB, and set the jumper, it will get a memory error.

However, by booting it once with the jumper, and then taking the jumper out and rebooting, I managed to somehow get it to a state where it actually tries to boot from floppy and partially succeeds 🫠

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

Okay it's not really what's supposed to happen but I still think it's kind of neat

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

So somehow I actually got a stable boot into Macworks

mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

So, a update.

Thanks to a super helpful tip from @DosFox, I now know that the sunrem 2MB card needs SIMMs in slots 1 and 4 to have 1MB, and not 1 and 2 as I originally had them.

The current process right now is:

  • on first boot memory test will pass, but IO fail with error 57. I can't boot to floppy
  • soft reset makes it pass all tests and let's it boot from floppy

Otherwise:

  • I still can't go beyond 1MB
  • there are still some wrong keyboard keys
  • ArduinoFile doesn't work
mejs,
@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com avatar

I may now need to go and finally deal with my finicky keyboard, because I can't even use the key "b" to boot from selector (even if I had working keys to select another image)

This is the selector software: https://github.com/stepleton/cameo/tree/master/aphid/selector

How am I supposed to "install" LisaDraw to the hard drive? I was able to drag LisaWrite without a problem, but I get this error with every copy of LisaDraw
