    Nascom 2.Troubleshooting

    Progress! Nascom still not booting but thanks to that neat idea of using an eeprom in place of the prom I can confirm I've now got data going to and from the rom/ram chips. The reason it's still not booting is either the eeprom is too slow (It's a 27C040) I've got the wiring slightly wrong or...
