Thanks. I thought that must be correct.

Is there a way of doing this with less than 3 people? 😅 I did see that I could use a little solder to fix the wires to the pins, but I'm not doing this because I don't own this 6128.

If not, it's ok, I have two teenagers that can help.

More simply, should I continue to short IORQ->READY while I also do IC115->R143 (red wire)? So both wires at the same time. (4 hands!)

(Also, I now have an oscilloscope, if that is useful during these tests.)

But please do something about the sound 😁

Our lovely MrLou has granted me permission to use some of his music instead of the Speccy's dulcet tones.
