[slinkelist] Parallel Port Timings

[thomasdr@us.ibm.com]

Yes, I've been thinking about going this way.

I'm using a Altera 7064 PLD, not a microcontroller, but I might have enough
logic available to capture a serial stream and use it to address regisers
for input and output.

I don't want to use RS232, since I'd need another interface on the card.
I'm planning to just have a 25 pin D-shell that has the signals from the
SLINK-E and terminal strips for terminating wiring to Xantech receivers and
IR emitters.  I could use one of the IRTX signals for the serial data if
the one of the DIO lines is asserted.  Another DIO line could indicate
Tx/Rcv.
Hmm,  may be the way to go.

Thanks,

Dave Thomas
