 		 #127091 - May be I am wrong, but...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard said:
Unfortunately, the Intersil part still has only minimal output current. If Lynn could cook up an output buffer that would match, at least, HC outputs, and, better attain the 24 mA outputs of popular CMOS buffers.

Maybe I'm wrong, but is the problem of 8255 not the same as the problem of 8051? That quasibidirectional topology of ports limits the output high current? Only true push and pull stages could overcome the weakness of port outputs. But that would violate the compatibility to original 8255, right?

Any value to a fast 8255?            01/01/70 00:00

         there are a few things ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            8255 vs 6824            01/01/70 00:00

               Yes, one had to know how the device behaved.            01/01/70 00:00      
               the 8255 was tough to learn, but in its crummy way            01/01/70 00:00      
   peaple would rather forget the 8255            01/01/70 00:00      
      Why do you suppose that is, Jez?            01/01/70 00:00      
   raison d'etre            01/01/70 00:00      
      Main reason, I think            01/01/70 00:00      
         There are other reasons, too.            01/01/70 00:00      
            Thanks for sharing your experience!            01/01/70 00:00      
      There's also a large replacement part market.            01/01/70 00:00      
         but for that you have to compste with Intersil            01/01/70 00:00      
            Intersil still only offers the \'80\'s technology            01/01/70 00:00      
               May be I am wrong, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  It hasn't got the same sort of ports as the 805x            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Yes, you are right            01/01/70 00:00
