Hey, Wait! You too Ace!

If I ever going to build an Ace, I will need to add a diode between Z26A pin 3 and Z80 /WAIT line

Hey, wait!
08/08/2019 at 03:10 • 0 commentsI have found one issue with the original ZX97 lite schematic: The /WAIT line is connected to an ordinary output pin rather than an Open Collector.
A peripheral device (like my keyboard adapter ) would fail to bring down the /WAIT line to hold the Z80.
I have fixed that on my design with a diode and a pull up resistor

More updates... release candidate?
08/07/2019 at 20:34 • 0 comments- Added a resistor network for pulling up keyboard input buffer pins (U16). I believe that will fix the erratic behavior when using buffer chips with other technology than LS.
