Hi Everyone,
I've got this 3032 PET that wont start up. When I turn it on I get the odd random character showing in random places, rather than a screen full of garbage. Sometimes I see the ### COMMODORE BASIC ### line, and then maybe a random character below.
I've removed both 6520's as one of these was faulty and I believe the PET should boot without these anyway, I just wont have a cursor.
The static RAM has been tested and is working and the 4116 chips seem to be good having removed them and tested them in another PET.
Which leads me to thinking its maybe a ROM problem.
The ROM's are in the following sockets:
UD9 - 901465-03
UD8 - 901447-24
UD7 - 901465-02
UD6 - 901465-01
Firstly is there a circuit board diagram for the 3032 that I can use to check the ROM's are in the correct sockets?
I own a 4032 which has BASIC 4. I assume this 3032 has BASIC 2 or something. I was thinking of downloading the BASIC 4 ROM's and putting them in there, but cannot find any references that tell me which ROM should go in which socket?
Thanks in advance!
