Hi
I saw a message on the classic computer list in 2003 from Ethan saying
that he had a RB5X robot controller with a 8073 SC/MP controller on it...
Hi, Doug,
Was that pointer to my INS8073 page of use? Have you gotten your chip
working yet? You really can get it working with a byte-wide SRAM, a
4MHz clock, a TTL-RS-232 level shifter and a few baud-rate-select resistors.
I just found a couple of rudimentary 8073 schematics in EagleCAD format,
but there's nothing there that isn't in the Nat'l Semi reference design,
really. I still have to complete my MC-1N schematic capture (2K RAM,
2K/4K ROM, MM58174 clock, 8255 PPI, 82S23 address select PROM).
