1. DivMMC on TS2068
retrocanada76 · 28 Jan 2015 06:06:06 -
Hello all,
Let me introduce first: I'm from Montreal, I'm a retro hobbyst and I just put my hands on a pristine 2068 in a box with manuals.
I've got also the twister board and the spectrum rom emulator from kmitl22 on ebay and I'm trying to make my DivMMC to run but it's not working.
First of all, if I start with no emulator rom the divmmc never starts (reset + space) make is to go blank only. When I try to use CAT or .LS the computer hangs making noise.
When using the emulator rom, I need to reset to get into spectrum b rom, and then reset + space to reset the DivMMC, but it fails loading the modules, sometimes hangs, sometimes shows garbage. If I try many times to press reset and nmi eventually the nmi menu starts and I can browse the files, but cannot load any snapshot, although I can see the screen with the v command. But this is very hard to make, the nmi to work properly.
Question: was it supposed to work ? Does anybody here has it working ? Could I have some problem with a faulty ram or falty ula ?
thanks,
Felipe (retrocanada)

Seems to have a problem here: typing load"" enter gives a white screen. Wasn't it supposed to be red border? Also nothing loads.
Btw the save seems to be working. Any hint of what could it be?
