I am having lots of fun playing with my Altair 8800 clone. As a newbie I am trying to follow along with the excellent videos. However video 6 has me stumped.

When stepping through the program, when the input instruction on port zero executes, not only does D0 go to one, but the entire data bus goes to one. I.e. D0-7 are all one. It seems that the input instruction itself is correctly executing since the INP indicator is on. But for some reason D0-7 are all one as well.
I have tried entering the program multiple times, but always get the same result. I am pretty sure that the connection is okay because all other videos have worked until now and I even was able to do some basic serial communication between my clone and my TI-99/4a. I even turned on my old Acer laptop and connected directly to an old serial port instead of using a USB to serial adapter just to be sure, but I keep seeing the same behavior.
Any ideas for a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks!
