AREA:UUCP_TECH
Here's the situation: I want to add 4 or so 8520 (or roughly equivalent) chips for data acquisition and control to an Amiga 500 or 1000. "Doing it right" isn't a particular concern as the card/board/nest of wires won't be sold nor transferred from machine to machine.

On the other hand, if "doing it right" is easy enough, then why not?

I have limited hardware experience, absolutely NONE with the 68000 though my buddy in crime does have. He lacks Amiga experience. We're a sorry pair to be tackling this without help.

SO... Can anyone suggest a manual, technical paper, file or other method to obtain the necessary information on how to do this, either the "wrong" way or the autoconfig method? We're stumped, and my really knowledgeable developer friend doesn't have any poop on this at all.

Or, to paraphrase this entire message, HELP!
