CPU 42 error...

<< < (3/4) > >>

bmwcyclist:
stepleton, Thank you! Excellent review and great to know.


I NOW HAVE THE BOARD WORKING!!  :)

I found my mistake.

The CPU I bought was not what I received. I asked for a MC68000L10 but it is a MC68010L10.

I put in a new MC68000L8 and now it is working great!!

Anyone want to buy a good working CPU board???

Thank you for your help everyone! If it were not for the suggestion to swap the CPU again I would have not caught my mistake for some time.

I am going to let it run all day with a screen saver or something, play some games, maybe draft an article tomorrow, to let it burn in and make sure it is trustworthy before I try to sell it.

Good catch!

For posterity... with the 68010 installed, after error 42, continuing to try to boot MW+II from the parallel port hard disk results in error 75 after "Hold down space bar or mouse button to adjust startup configuration".

Given that fakes, counterfeits, and "re-marked" salvage chips are around, if you see this behaviour with a part marked 68000, then I'd guess it is actually a 68010.

Also beware when ordering by part number that there is a Motorola 6800 processor (in a smaller package), the Lisa uses the 68000. The speed of the CPU board is just over 5MHz, so speed grades 6,8,10,12, and 12F will work.

edit: added 6800 & speed grade info

12F ?

Foxtrot?

What does the F get you?
