#152941 - no scope
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My circuit is just to fulfil the loader reset mode and controls the EA, RST and PSEN lines, controlled by DTR. I'm using a 74HC245 tristate buffer for this which seems to be ok according to the Dallas datasheet.

My oscillator is currently a 15MHz crystal and two 27pF. It must oscillate but I suppose it could be unstable. I tried several crystals and this one seemed to work best.

I tried two PSUs and two computers with different software.

I have no scope to check the PSU lines. I'll have to think where I could get one.

When my second chip comes, I'll try that. If the same thing happens, then I'll start to worry about my sanity.
