To my absolute amazement, UPS showed up at my door the very next day with the 94/95 Embedded Control Handbook! While the Embedded Control Handbook is great, I was a little disappointed to find that it's just a collection of app notes. I was more interested in nitty gritty programming info on the individual processors, such as instruction set, architecture, and device programming. I'd like to build a 16C84 programmer for the Mac and write my own assembler/downloader. I have an old uChip databook called, simply, "Microchip Databook 1992" which covers serial eeproms, pic family overviews, and logic products. It would be nice to have detailed info on uChip's serial eeproms and the complete pic line. What databooks should I ask for? Mac Development Plans --------------------- I'm glad to see the recent Mac Development thread; I don't feel alone anymore! In any case, I plan to bootstrap myself with a little 16C84 serial programmer and then build a universal pic programmer using the '84. I'm also going to write an assembler and a little language or two to go along with the programmer. I'll post my progress from time to time if people are interested.
