[N8VEM: 16452] N8VEM in Germany's C't Hardware Hacks Magazin

[oscarv]

All,

Just to let you know that C't Hardware Hacks (the hardware quarterly of the
venerable C't Magazin) published a 13-page double feature on the N8VEM SBC.

C't editor Daniel Bachfeld really wrote a fantastic piece... Well worth
reading if you speak German. *Link to magazine*<http://shop.heise.de/katalog/ct-hacks-4-2013>.

Many thanks also go to Hauke, from the group here, for translation and
proofreading/editing.

Next to having nice N8VEM publicity, it's also great to see that C't has
preserved their quality of content in a time where, let's face it, most
computer magazines have dumbed down to become consumer magazines...


Regards,

Oscar.

The "C't Hardware Hacks" double feature is what brought me here. Great stuff!

Unfortunately Andrew's E-Mail-address is misprinted on page 99 (***@... instead of ***@...).

Werner,
Urgh...The printer's devil... I'll check with C't, maybe it's good to put a
note in their forum.

Thanks!

Oscar.

Hello,

The article in the C't Hacks is accompanied by a partlist. So you can find
the part in the Jameco-shop. For the pio8255 is the reference 52417, but
underneath you will find a PIO 82C55A! It is no matter which one I plug on
the board?

Greetings Harald!

I believe the only spec on the 8255 that matters is speed. Faster CPUs want faster 8255s, or more waitstates when the 8255 is used. I think. I'm a newbie with a Zeta. There may be differences I do not yet understand.

HI! I don't think it matters but using a faster 82C55 will enable the CPU
to go faster.



It seems the PPI is a limiting factor in some IO operations like PPIDE etc.



At the default CPU speed (4MHz) the 82C55A should work fine though.


Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew Lynch
