Received a fresh shipment of boards from PCB house a couple of days ago and among them was version 1.1 of the bus monitor supreme. I have pretty much assembled everything and am well into the testing phase. All the issues that i wanted to correct from version 1.0 seem to have been corrected OK, except one capacitor that I had added to make the single step reset signal more robust. Fortunately, I was able to depopulate and save all of the LEDs and nearly all the capacitors and other pricey items. However, in the desoldering we lost the momentary single step push-button so I need to get another one on order.
I really like having both the hexadecimal and binary display of the address and data. I also really like the machine cycle type filter, it is impressive to see it jump from memory write to write, read to read, and so forth. Heck, I think I like everything so far about this bus monitor.
If everything continues to go well with the testing, I will release this version of the build files on the SBC-85.COM project site.
