Default Re: Maplin Z80 SBC

Well, I should have known all was too good to last! Having used the MAX3232 to produce the +/- volts which the MICE demanded, all was good. However, while getting to know how to operate it, since I haven't used it in many a long year, it decided to pack up. Seems completely dead, doesn't even produce the usual start-up message. So far all I've done is check the usual voltages and scoped signal lines around the CPU (8085) and there's lots of activity.
I'm just wondering if someone on the forum might have some experience of this ancient Z80 emulator? It's a Microtek Z80B MICE II, vintage 1985. A circuit diagram would be nice, but I'd guess as rare as hens' teeth!
