MOSLO does not "slow the PC down". It uses interrupt handlers to

There is a version which has been patched to work with faster
processors. I have found that it only somewhat works. But I
found this website http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/pascal/runerr200/
which has a patcher which *does* work.

Interactions with MOSLOW, possibly. Flakey cable.

This is incorrect. I have a few tens of A series chips with

Hey Art... can you get some other simple little program like an led flasher
to assemble, burn and run reliably without messing with the talker? This
eliminates or verifies the pcbug and talker as the problem

Really? But I am talking on A1 family. Isn't it that the internal ROM for A1 family has been disable? If I enable the ROM through CONFIG register, will I get the internal ROM enable with Buffalo inside? I think only A8 consists of 8K ROM.
As mentioned previously, I am new in this field. Any correction is most welcome as this will increase my understanding. Thanks a lot.

My recollection is that HC11's that have BUFFALO stored on on-chip ROM
are marked as such on the device. The word "BUFFALO" should be
present on the device, somewhere below the device part number.
Sorry I can't confirm this absolutely, I don't have any of my HC11
boards handy :(

The Motorola documentation on this is that there is a "B"
in the device name. However, I know for a fact that I have
several chips with BUFFALO in them which are not so marked.
I have never seen a chip with BUFFALO stamped on it.

All A chips are built on the same die. It works like this...
A0 the EEPROM is likely defective. If you enable it, it
will be there, but Motorola does not guarantee that it
works. It may be perfectly usable in hobby applications,
however, just not working at elevated temps. or whatever.
Or it may have been in a batch which really truly didn't
work properly, and has cells which won't program or which
won't retain programming.
A1 the EEPROM is ok, but the ROM is defective in some way.
If you enable it, it will work, but either
(1) the mask was defective, and there is a
useless program in it
(2) the mask was superceded, and the OEM
allowed Motorola to sell off surplus
chips
(3) the ROM may contain BUFFALO.
Several of my A1 chips fall into category 3.

Hi to all:
I just purchased a MicroCore-11 board, and am wondering if I can do the
following:
I have PA0 ->PA7, PE0->PE7, PD2->PD5 available.
Should I transfer the data to the LED segments via a parallel bus or in a
serial fashion?
Thanks for the help,
Art

Sorry, not enough information.
Do you have a 7 segment digital display?
If so, how many digits? Do you plan to multiplex?
What performance requirements do you have? (visual persistence?)
By "serial fashion" do you mean SPI? SCI?
Do you have any power requirements? IOW, do you need to control
brightness by using a duty cycle? (Also relates to visual persistence.)

Hey Mike:
Yes, I have 7 segment digital LED displays.
I used to use data latches and (I think) 7442 TTL driver chips.
I'm wondering if I should send the data in serial to a chip and use that to
drive the LED segments.
The only reason that I say this is that the board that I have does not
provide many outputs and inputs.
I'd like to be able to drive 6 segments.Two for the hex data and four for
the hex address. Thanks,
Art
