What can I say about this, is that the scheme by which the map was assembled is technically outdated - this can be seen immediately. The bug described in the letter may occur. because of the /EOP signal, a 10 kOhm resistor is attached to the 36th leg of the VT37 at +5, then /EOP goes to the INT formation circuit, to 1DD19. As for INT, the track is cut on the computer to the 6th leg of the Z80 (INT), with DMA the INT signal is fed to Z80, and the one that went there earlier - to DMA signal of the same name. The most reliable diagram + description of debugging
in the ECHO newspaper (the diagram has undergone some non-global changes). If any further questions arise, write or call.
