Hi Bill
That's great! I gather you are using the SP0256 alone and using only the Z80 with it?

Did you write or found a Z80 program to drive the SP0256 directly?

Looking forward to the next step. First is to get the SP0256 into a test mode to disable the internal ROM.

Then add the logic to the CPLD to emulate the SPR000 chip.

It's described at a high level in the SP0256B and SPR016 datasheets but far from specific implementation.

Best of luck! Thanks, Andrew Lynch
