A project log for The PCW Project

Doing things with an Amstrad PCW

I haven't done much on the project today, except to connect up the CPLD to the FT232 and succesfully load my VHDL 'programme' on to the CPLD.

CPLD connected to FT232 and PCW

This is always a nice message to see — it shows that I managed to solder the CPLD board at least partially correctly:

What wasn't so nice was the buzzing noise I got when I switched the PCW on. I can't think where I've gone wrong at the moment. All the pins connected to the PCW should be in a high-impedance state and shouldn't affect the PCW at all. I'm obviously wrong about this though!
