In general when trying to run memory ir rom tests I find I always need to wd disable.

Success..

After splitting the roms, and running Calcsig on them, then tying the WD
Dis to ground. I was then able to write 00 01 02 etc to 1740 and get the
MMUPAGE0 1 to toggle..

I'm now able to read the paged roms and get the correct sigs.

Just needed to tie the Watchdog to ground..

Guess someone should let quarterarcade know their script is wrong :)

Solved that problem.

Thanks for all the help.

Kevin
