I am having trouble with a computer interface project. I'm trying to decode addresses on the bus for my own plug-in wire-wrap card. So I used a 74ls688 compare chip to decode address lines A2 to A9, and then I wired A0 and A1 to an 8255 chip. I've wired the address to be 300hex. I've also tried 280hex, but I had the same problem. My only problem seems to be that while the card is plugged in, both of my disk drives (5 1/4, and 3 1/2) have some sort of problem copying files to my hard drive. When I type chkdsk at the drive prompt, the error message <filename> Is cross linked on allocation unit 129 etc... And in general, I can copy only a small amount of what is stored on the disk, and I usually get an error :sector not found on disks that I know are good. I'm stuck. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
