Hello,

I was wondering if anyone tried building one of these TX boards and have everything working except for external accelerators ?

The one I built here has an onboard 030 cpu/881 fpu.

As soon as I add an external A3630 (confirmed working on another motherboard), it's stuck with dim LED and sits there forever (not executing code, as caps lock stops responding after a few presses).

I've been around the resistor networks 2.7k, 1.2k etc (those are separate resistors on rev b/cr rev d), all seem good and not shorted.

Would anyone have ideas which signals on the KEL connectors most likely to be causing it to stall ? / or what to check there, maybe clocks ?

Any help appreciated :)
 
I actually found that R150 was reading mOhms, should be 47R. The component were new, so seems like a QA fault from factory.

Once that was sorted the cpuclk reached the cpu card and everything worked 😃👍
