Ok, Question:
Since Mr. Lavin is a busy man, I'll post this question here instead of
bothering him. I understand the handshake protocol for the MC68000
(sync & async bus arbitration, bus-mastering, etc), but I've not
mastered the Amiga AutoConfig protocol (particularly for the 1000).
Does this serial/parallel project describe how one does AutoConfig?
Even if it does not (not a terribly *big* concern), I am very much
interested in this and other interfacing projects for the Amiga.
Is this project down on (electronic) paper somewhere and how can I
get a hold of it? I have a project for interfacing special math
hardware (custom design/build) and any info on Amiga specific
interfacing would be useful. I'd also love to add more serial/parallel
ports to the machine (one of each is simply not enough).
Hardware Hackers Unite!
Thanks in advance for any response.
Pete.
