I got some questions about the status of this project, so here is a little update: there is some weird problem preventing the new protoboard from working properly. I am not sure what the problem is here, so I'll have to get out the logic analyzer to look into the signals on the address and data buses. I had to move my stuff around in the house, so my "lab" is not fully functional right now. I am still at it, and it will be solved, I just need some time to look into it properly.
Best, ilmenator
