Hi, Bryce.
I received both ICs, SN74LS136N and SN74LS38N.
I swapped them (starting with the SN74LS136N), but the problem was still the same.
I desoldered the two wires from the SN74LS38N and bent and trimmed the pin ends. I put them in their socket and soldered them back to the wires.
And... IT WORKS!!!!  with the two drives.
Thanks again for your help, Bryce.

Bought this one a couple of years ago as a 'rainy day' project. Hoping to find an Amstrad DOS PC to connect to it sometime. Lurking under all the bits and pieces is an incomplete 6128plus.

Thanks for your help! So CPC6128 users, you'll need to download the Modified Lower ROM for CPC6128.
There is an Auto-installer available here.
I guess you should also upgrade your firmware to the latest version (2.0.8 ).
According to the documentation, M4 ROM must be in ROM slot 6.

Tried in my CPCP6128 with M4 and no problems at the moment! 

Ah! We've got a winner Now it's questioning time.
What's the version of your Firmware (|VERSION) ?
Is your M4 ROM located in ROM slot 6 or 7?
Do you use the so-called "Modified lower ROM for CPC6128" ?

The Ending sequence is included in the last level, so you'll have to complete the level to see it.
Pressing ESC on that level will crash the game, as you probably noticed, since it tries to load a non-existing next level.
At some point, I'll try to create a version on 2 discs. It's more complicated than it seems.

Do you think anyone would be interested in a serial number database? Is it worth setting up? Would more than a few people want to put their cpc serial numbers in such?
