Now I am going to solder the pins, but as Zozo has pointed, some pins go on different place on the Flash chip:

This is the SRam:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

And this is the Flash-Rom:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

-Pin 3, on SRAM is A14, on Flash-ROM is A15.
-Pin 29, on SRAM is /WE, on Flash-ROM is A14.
-Pin 31, on SRAM is A15, on Flash-ROM is /WE.

The pins must be rotated with three little leads.

Also /CE on pin 22 should be left free, as it goes to pin 19 of the GAL.

And at last, a cut must be made on Saint's board, at least in my version:

Pins rotated. /CS for the Flash-Rom soldered from GAL, pin 19.

Time to test it.....

Tested and working.

The next  task is to solder the RTC.

RTC soldered, but I think it is still not working.

If I reset the Ep, the time starts again  from 00:00:00 and, if I change to 10Mhz, the clock goes faster...

The ports, according to LGB ports listing, are:

0x7E   CMOS RTC/memory register select
0x7F   CMOS RTC/memory register read/write

I will read them to see if there is communication.

Also it can be that the ATF22vV10 is not properly programmed.

The new RTC chips shipped in stopped sate (for power save), need to be initialised.

*** No hardware clock board or bad.

I have to re-check the connections and ATF programming.

Pear is making some measurements with the internal expansion headers.

This picture is to show how the second header is placed under the narrowing in the upper housing at the external expansion port. The red line marks the limit of the narrowing, about 7 mm over the main board.
I think I found the solution :)
The small L-shaped board.
I added signals /M1, /IORQ, /RESET and /INT.

Previously I thought about crimp IDC connector, but they are too high.

Pin1 connected to +5V? (Motorola mode)

A very clever approach. Then you will cut that higher ends of the pins, wouldn't you?

Pin1 connected to +5V? (Motorola mode)

Pin 1 of the Dallas chip not connected.

EXP2 is correctly connected,  I only draw +5 and GND from it.

But I have a doubt on the pin-out of EXP1, it can be I have swapped column A and B on that header.

In your web page , column B is near  the external connector or near Dave chip?.

------------------------

Edit: correct, B is at the outside.

This is a problem!
"MOT (Mode Select) – The MOT pin offers the flexibility to choose between two bus types. When
connected to VCC, Motorola bus timing is selected. When connected to GND or left disconnected, Intel
bus timing is selected. The pin has an internal pull-down resistance of approximately 20KΩ."

I already discovered at your MICROTEAM RTC Motorola mode needed when working with Z80.

It's only a model. The pins will need to trim, because otherwise case will not close.

If I connect /RD of the RTC to B19, the Enterprise starts to do odd things.

I have discovered an error on the ATF chip program, it needs PwrOn signal to work. Then I have put that signal on pin 11 and soldered that pin to GND.

But it still doesn't work.
