- I been interested in this miniboard - BUT I've never seen a schematic!
- I have the capabilities to do schematic capture and baord layout here
- and I've designed witht he HC11 before ( actually my first HC11 design
- was in 86 )
- I have a board I designed for general purpose use with the HC11 in 88
- but have not had much of a need to use it for any real project ( HC11's
- cost more that Super8's)
-
- Q. Does anyone have a schematic of this board ?
- Q. is there interest in variations on this design ?
-
- NOTE: my buisness is consulting designing systems like this but its also
- my hobby so the motives are mixed somewhat - I'd love to sell 1000's of
- the boards but I also want to play :)
-
- I could possibly do a run of boards in the future if thats what is
- needed ( Greg said it would be a one time thing for his run ), and under
- similar conditions
-
- I like the idea of a 'standard' controller board for experimenters that
- does not cost an arm and a leg.
-
- feedback anyone ?
-
- Regards
- Peter
