More cards means more capacitance on the data bus: maybe the Yellowstone output driver wasn’t able to switch the bus signals fast enough? More cards also means more load on the data bus: maybe the Yellowstone output driver wasn’t able to source or sink enough current to maintain a valid logic high or low voltage?

in the Apple IIgs, crashes were more likely to occur as the number of other cards increasedīased on this, I suspected some kind of electrical problem as opposed to a logic design problem.

the crash occurred in an Apple IIe and an Apple IIgs.

the crash occurred even when no disk drives were attached – so it’s unrelated to the drive or the disk contents.

it didn’t matter what slots the cards were in.

it didn’t matter what the other cards were.

With more investigation, I gathered these clues: With another card present, the computer would crash into the system monitor during power-up about 90% of the time. Success! But the excitement was short-lived: it only worked when Yellowstone was the only card installed in the Apple IIe. With Yellowstone configured to clone a Liron disk controller, I was able to boot from a Unidisk 3.5 drive as well as from a Floppy Emu in Smartport emulation mode. This story begins 12 days ago, the first time I successfully booted my Apple II using the Yellowstone card. Those nice clean zeroes and ones are gone, and instead I’m struggling with voltages, logic thresholds, capacitance, and power in an attempt to explain what’s going wrong. That’s the story of my Yellowstone FPGA-based disk controller for Apple II, and it’s slowly driving me crazy. The digital abstraction of zeroes and ones is lovely, but electronics debugging often requires a deeper look into the realm of analog signals.
