I have a //e enhanced, with a very damaged 8mhz zip chip processor. I
plan to replace the zip chip with an unmodified 65C02 processor.
Before I do, I wanted to make sure the self-test code wasn't revealing
something else as a problem as well.
After running the self test, I see the following on the screen:
RAM: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Would this indicate the last ram chip is damaged, or that the processor
is just having trouble reading from that memory line due to a damaged
pin?
Should I be too nervous about putting in a 65C02 processor that's
faster than 1mhz? (or is that kept in check by the on-board osc?)
A side topic of lesser importance: Would it be possible to gut the
parts of the zip chip and make a daughter-card (to plug in to the 6502
socket) housing all the parts of the zip chip? Does anyone have a
schematic for such a thing, but some random chance? :-)
Thanks folks!
