It works, except the fact that the power-on reset doesn't work reliably. The circuitry has already been tinkered, with resistors and diodes added. As I don't have any schematic, I cannot find out what was the original state. So, I would be glad to find a typical app note with POR schematics and timings. Could anyone manage to send me a PDF? Thanks in advance JD Hello,

One friend of mine (long dead) gave me the 4040 Intel manual, and from that --> SC/MP (INS8060 from Nat. Semi) and the Sinclair MK14, I learned "real" computing. Not clicking, but writing microcode. Assembly? That was for kids ;-) Not bad article! One friend of mine (long dead) gave me the 4040 Intel manual, and from that –> SC/MP (INS8060 from Nat.

Because they expect to know something really unique about that person's life and his experiences... Vivek has shown his experiences with DPCs, and various different software. Blogging is not a copy-paste compilation of data, its a blend of dairy writing, journalism, and informative insight. Original stuff would look a lot better on the The Tech Nuts' Blog... Even if you want to write stuff like this, don't make it so easy for anyone to know that it has been taped from Wikipedia. (Google rules!) I will give you an idea, try opening your PC's BIOS and write about your experience in the new uncharted territory you set foot in... :P @Eeshan Nice, you actually read all that stuff? 42% of the text was simply model numbers... highly thought provoking, isn't it? @Karthick
