way to wire up a SPI-based module to an Apple II/II+/IIe? I'm looking
for a temp solution, while I design a Apple II board with a correct
interface. Something that doesn't require any soldering would be
grand (bit banging the SPI via some IO pins, Using the DSR/DTR/RTS
pins on the RS232 (if that can be done...), etc.
Maybe I'm not understanding this, but just about any small MCU with a
sufficient number of pins implements SPI ; most have UARTs on board
and so could serve as a cheap-and-dirty bridge.
What am I missing?
