2. Anyone on list have any experience with MAX
7032A Altera CPLDs?
I'm working on a VIC-20 MIDI interface for a friend in Toronto,
and I'd love to use a small CPLD to make it more cost effective
to produce the MIDI cart. I've found TQFP 7032A units for
$.31/piece, but I've never done CPLD. I want to learn, and
thought if I at least knew someone could help me though the
first few bits (and help with the programming cable, etc., it'd
be much easier.
I've done some Max 7000S CPLDs. The ByteBlaster programmer is easy
to build and the Quartus development software is available free on
line. I believe it includes some examples.
After fooling with the awkward Altera tools, I found that I like the
Xilinx XC9500 toolset better.
4. Anyone have a source for 28AWG 2 conductor
twisted wire?
5. If so, do they make it in 3 conductor?
Solid, or stranded? Tinned or bare copper?
