Hi there I thought i would start a new thread on this because i am using a Model 4 with 2 disk drives and it is a non gate array model. This currently has nothing to do with C/PM but just getting it up and running. Here we go:
Hi there I purchased and built a Lo-Tech TRS-80 IDE interface Rev. 2.
I have a 50 pin cable from the TRS-80 to the TRS-80 IDE interface board, currently no hard drive attached. The cable is connected with Pin1 to Pin 1 etc, so it's not reversed.
I noticed that the power led indicator goes on, and I measured 3.36 volts on the power terminals of the TRS-80 IDE Interface card (referred to as the Interface going forward). This happens without additional power being supplied to the board via usb or otherwise. Is this normal?
Before I plug power into this, i just wanted to see if this was normal.
Thanks by the way to those that made this board possible, the designers of the circuit and James who made the board available.
