Found these inside a non-working 71B

Paul.

I'm sure uou are probably right but this is far fewer than the way it was, since I had a FORTH too.

I'm not sure you are understanding how the 32K are wired, assuming both b are the same.
* what are the 8 connections you are referring to. There are the original 5 chips and I'm adding 2. With forth and Math there are 2 more there. So I'm confused about the connections.
* that said, there was a daisy chain error. I had Pin9 from bottom chip to pin 8 of the front chip. Should have been back chip. Pin9 of back chip wire in module to pin 8 of front chip. Then Pin9 of front chip goes to HPIL. Same results.

update: Dang on way to Subway I realized there is another problem. I never cut a trace between the lower chip pin9 and the HPIL. My RAM was not inserted between. So when i ran U9-pin 9 to the RAM chip pin8 and it's pin 9 to the front RAM pin8, , its pin 9 is routed back to pin 9 on lower chip because I did cut the chain between U9 and HPIL Havent looked at why but i know its wrong. kind of a parallel connection. I think the 2nd RAM would prevent the first one from configuring.

If this was all working, would MEM return 82k. or would it look like a 64k port ram?
