In this case, I want 7-bit ASCII output in parallel, strobed, data format. It only requires that one substitute a 5-6 line routine for a 25 line one that talks to the I2C hardware. It seems to me that a little 20-pin part could handle this just fine, or, for that matter, a 16-pin part. Get the 8042 - it's ready to use. You just need to excavate it from an old PC motherboard, from the '286/'386 era. IMHO you can rip off some 20 unimportant pins if it makes you nervous that it is DIP40... :-) JW |
