Would definitely need an LA if I started with PLDs then.
Will keep that one on the back burner for now but got the programmers etc already.
You will not be able to post if you are still using Microsoft email addresses such as Hotmail etc

DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

exxos IDE interface (untested)
Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
ATF15xx series needs its own special programmer.
The good thing about them is they 5v, and the software is suioer simple. Its almost like notepad with a compiler
none of this 30gb bloatware rubbish. I like the altera software, but takes more getting used to. I've only used itnoince and that was like a year ago. But at least its not to bad to get going with. Really just want to stick to simple chips until I have need to go bigger. Hard to keep everything in my head all at once

Yeah, could route it all though a larger PLD as well I guess, or like you say, bus drivers.
Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
A few steps forward over the last few days. Working with Exxos have reverted to using some GALs to reduce the many logic chips.
Cartridge Port Breakout board is read to work with breadboard. This helps to get most of the data lines and address lines out.

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
one step closer 
Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
A few more steps forward.
Still a bit more to do
Still a bit more to do
- Tying several pins down to ground
- Adding in all the extra lines back to the ST
- Checking everything out

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
That looks really cool, good luck, hope it works etc

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
Wow indeed! Who would have thought such a "simple" circuit would end up like that, I'm starting to appreciate PLD's a whole lot more all of a sudden
Though I also really hate PLD's Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
Ever so slowly getting there. Christmas has definitely got in the way.
Have ran out of test hooks to help with the setup and also need to finish off a few grounding of unused pins on some of the chips.
Hoping to power up tomorrow after crafting a few more wires to add to the mess.

Also appreciating that this, although simple, is one wiring nightmare. Roll-on PLD version if this one works.

Now that's a proper prototype! Yeah, it will all come together in the end and be the worlds first stable IDE solutionIcky wrote: Thu Dec 27, 2018 12:13 am Also appreciating that this, although simple, is one wiring nightmare. Roll-on PLD version if this one works.
