| | Re: U14 problem
|
| Firstly, 19.9v is a normal unloaded voltage from a 12v DC adapter. The reason: these common wall adapters are unregulated, and voltage output varies inversely to current. I.e., if there is no load, the voltage is higher than the rated voltage; if (...) (28 years ago, 15-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| You need to get the CONFIG register to be set to 0x0c. If it is set to 0x0d, there will be memory conflicts. See the FAQ for an explanation. Try DL.EXE from the freeware DOS package.
