Hey Guys,
I have a relatively complete 8088 system built and running but the issue with this system is that it runs sometimes. What I mean is that when I connect the circuit to power, sometimes the system runs and sometimes, it does not.
When the circuit finally does work, if I trigger the reset button on my 8284A clock chip connected to the 8088, sometimes it resets the processor as it should, however most of the times, it stalls the processor.
I think it may be undercurrent since the 8088 can draw as much as 350mA max. If the circuit was not receiving adequate current, should it be working at all?
