All,
I have been stressing this design to be sure it is as solid as it can get. I just found that after loading the “EXBASIC5.H8T” file, pressing “GO”, I do not get nothing on the 8251A serial port after pressing the space bar several times. The new H8CHESS.H8 runs fine on the same 8251A console.
If I replace the board with my previous H89-Z5-4 board, then EXBASIC5.H8T” runs fine on the 8251A console.
I did replace most of the components without any progress.
Any ideas?
Norberto

That fixed the issue! My bad! Now I feel more relax that we have a fully functional board.
Do you have a document that lists the games and which console to use? I will like to add that to the website.
Thanks,
Norberto

Here is a picture of the old H8-5 and the new H8-Z5-4 board.
The 8250 console port and the 8251 console port can be disabled with a jumper on the new board.
Thanks,
Norberto

Agree! Also, once the VCO is calibrated properly, you can still read the old H8 tapes after 45 years.
I uploaded latest files to the website. What is pending is the calibration guide and BOM.
