Sort of... > Is the port all input or all output ? The port ist both... If you want to use it as input, you set the port bit to '1' (HIGH) and then read it back. If it comes back as '0' (LOW) it was pulled low by an external source. I picture the output stage like a gate of a 7406 plus a pullup resistor. > What define the mode ? input/output ?

At least so far I didn't have one fail on me. > Is there anything that can replace this component ? if not available ? The 6529 used in the keyboard port of a C16 is only written to, as far as I know. So there you might be able to get away with a 74LS574 or 74LS573 with the pinout adjusted. It'll produce much harder edges than that rather soft NMOS 6529 though. Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-05-04 22:00:09
