Do you have a logic probe?  That will show you enough to confirm that the CPU is operating as expected.  No LEDs needed.

Willcox is ISBN 0-13-811399-8.  Clements is ISBN 0-13-668120-4.

Start off slow (maybe 5 or 6 MHz) and work our way up in steps to the speed indicated on the chip.  Maybe even go beyond that?  I find that some Motorola/Coldfire CPUs will run 20% faster than the indicated speed.

At 50 MHz, I'm not surprised!!

Where are you located?  I have an extra Clements book that I could send to you (as long as it is not too expensive to mail -- I'm retired, and Biden's inflation is killing me!).
