All:
I want to add a real time clock to the Altair32 but I want
to throw this out there for comment. Would one rather use a "faceless"
RTC (like the Compu/Time) or one with an on-screen display like the
Hayes Chronograph? The Compu/Time is very easy (nearly done coding) but
the Chronograph would be prettier.
Personally? The Chronograph. I have a real one, so, of course, I'm
biased. I've often contemplated making a Chronograph emulator, but it
would take a graphical LCD; a 20x4 Text LCD can't quite do it justice
(because of the day-of-the-week at the top of a real Chronograph's
VFD).
