Anyone got a schematic on a Lexicon MRC Midi controller? I have got two dead ones i have been trying to get going for customers for awhile. Kind of hard with no prints. Essentially a one board computer with Z80, 4 rom, static ram, uart,analog input chip, and display controller.
Unit #1 will go though self test until it get to the Duart test and them the display goes to gibberish and unit locks up. Subbed the CPU, RAM and Duart from another working unit and all the symptoms stayed the same.
Unit #2 comes up with display solid, no activity. Swapped CPU,RAM,DUART and still the same. Now, this unit has the CPU reset line staying low. I think this is related to the problem but need to find the circuit that controls the CPU reset on power up. I am hunting down some generic Z80 circuits for a guide.
Both have the EL panels out, but that's a moot point with no brain activity........
