Hmm. I'm having some problems, though; I intended to use P0 for the
8 datalines, but even *reading* them completely crashes the bus, and
often even resets the 8051. Very odd; P0 is a honest-to-heart open-collector
thing (doesn't even have internal pull-ups).
Hmm. Unless it's configured as push-pull for some obscure reason.
Anyway; I now use P2 for the datalines[1], and that seems to be working
like a charm. Stretching the timing of the bus works like a charm :)
By the way, does anybody know when ATN is valid (or to be more precise:
when it is *no longer* valid)?

8751's are "common as muck". Hfl 5,-- at Display electronica
(and you actually get a 8752, which has more RAM and timers..)

Hmm. I might be able to find this info as well; Philips's intranet
is a *nightmare* though.

At second thought, I might have that particular info at home. I collected
a few databooks a few weeks ago, which I haven't really checked yet..

I'll try to keep that in mind when implementing the IEC-part of the device;
8041-derivates have much simpler timers and all :(
I don't know the 8041 quite well, but I seem to recall that it only had
one (external) interrupt line. The 8051 has two of them, and I intended
to use both of them (so that I can simply see if I got an 'IEC-ATN' or
an 'IEEE' one :)

You lost me somehwere; what's a POD? It sounds like In-cicuit emulators
somehow.

Hmm. I don't have my IC20-handbook at hand, but didn't the 552 have *6*
I/O ports? Shouldn't be much of a problem, really.
I'm not certain external RAM is really required; I haven't used a single
byte of Data-space up to now (save stack)

You're absolutely right.

That's right :)

I'm not quite sure if it will be worth the effort; the 8051's UART can't
be programmed very accurately at "high" bitrates, and I came up with a
good use for the UART - My mac is still missing some way of accessing
CBM-drives; it might be a nice idea to implement something like
'IEEE-over-RS232' :)

Well, it only has a 1-byte "FIFO"..
Ah well - I'll get back to it next monday; I'm going away for a weekend.
Funny how these things always collide ;)

[1] Which is a bit of a nuisance; due to a bug^Wfeature of the 89c81Rx+
processors, pins P2.6 and P2.7 *must* be floating when doing
in-circuit programming, which means that I have to disconnect the
IEEE bus now :(. P3 got a 'stuck' bit somewhere (and it got the RS232
interface on it), so that isn't useful anyway :(
