Lots of nostalgic memories with the ancient SAB 80C535. A big set of EPROM chips took care of the UV erase times. What a classic chip ! I loved it too. Lots of I/O, separate baud generator, A/D. A wonderful bit of kit for its time. I did what I regard as my "masterpiece" about 16 years ago using two 80C535 and developed a full 3D laser graphic system - on a 18meg 80C535. Made a lot of money from it too. From WikiPedia "Originally, the term masterpiece referred to a piece of work produced by an apprentice or journeyman aspiring to become a master craftsman in the old European guild system. His fitness to qualify for guild membership was judged partially by the Masterpiece, and if he was successful, it was retained by the guild. Great care was therefore taken to produce a fine piece in whatever the craft was, whether confectionery, painting, goldsmithing, knifemaking, or many other trades." Steve |
