[net.micro] Help Sys Support I

patc (05/12/82)

I need help with my Goubout System Support - I.
	I have a nearly full blown System Support - I board.  There is
one Ram chip in the ROM/RAM chip sockets addressed as global memory at
0F000H - 0FFFFH. My CPU is a Z-80 but has special circuitry to mirror
I/O port addresses on the high address lines during IN and OUT
instructions. If I address an I/O port in the range 0F0H to 0FFH, the
system Support 1 enables the buss drivers for the data lines but does
not select the RAM.  This causes interference with the input/output
data.
	When I modify the jumpers so an I/O address is not mirrored,
it's even worse. The problem seems to depend on the type of IN/OUT
instruction and the contents of the A or B register whether or not the
board is enabled.
	Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so is there a fix
for it. I do not use or need the battery backup for the RAM.
