#100549 - 8052.com SBC weird ISP behavior.
When I try to use VisISP to update the SBCMON to ver 1.3 I have a very difficult time conncting to and reading and writing to the mcu. In trying to determine if signal levels are correct on the parallel connector I found that whenever my scope probe is touching pin 2 of U12 (74HC126) Clock signal, all three operations work, even though on writing to the mcu I consistently get 22 byte and 22 address errors. The monitor program starts up and appears to work fine (once I configured Hypercom to append LF to CR).
Back to pin 2, even touching a wire with which I am in contact results in completed operations. I tried using a 4.7k pullup but that did not help.
The cable from the PC to the SBC is a standard pc printer cable where I replaced the Centronics connector with a female DB25, making only the connections listed in the schematics.
Any suggestions?
