Project Progress
Today the serial port subsystem is working both sending and receiving characters.
I should now implement some checking routines for errors during transmission and check for break.

Re: Project Progress
I am waiting for some CPLDs from XILINX to arrive any day now along with a programming cable i found on ebay (hope it works). The 44pin CPLDS should simplify the development.

Re: Project Progress
I just finished a pcb board that will make the new CPLDs usable also i made a RS232 board that will host the 16550 and the supporting components.
Photos of both will be up ASAP.
P.S. I have not tested either of them so will see

All NB stuff have been on hold the last months. Don't think I will get any thing done before winter comes.

Re: Project Progress
Hello Michael
Can you send me copies of the Danish User Group Magazines from 1983 - 1986 even if they are in Danish. Also have you published then on the NewBrain Website yet. Look forward to seeing them.
Best Regards
