ISA BUS control

[HerediaSM]

Hello!

Searching for information, I came across your project. I wanted to ask if you were able to control the ISA bus with this code. If so, what did you base it on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you were able to control the ISA bus with this code

Yes, I was. I wrote about it on https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=76311

what did you base it on?

well, nothing, really.

This code was written to learn about the ISA bus itself and to control it with an ATmega. The serial protocol parsing and the UART stuff got a bit ugly, so I switched over to an STM32 with software USB.

This resulted in https://github.com/Manawyrm/ISASTM and https://github.com/Manawyrm/ISASTM-Firmware :

It's still incredibly slow (because USB is the wrong protocol for this sort of application), but it does work.

It's an interesting project that helped me to understand the BUS ISA control.

Nice job!
