For a generic circuit of the PIC16C84 as used in the ARTI design, have a
look at:

Although this is an overkill, it shows how simply it can be done.
You really only need a PIC16C84/04/P, one resistor, and a 4Mhz crystal
(with 2 caps) or a resonator.

The Comms port of your PC must hook up to the PIC with Serial in
connected to pin1 and Serial Out connected to pin 2. Hard isn't it?

I don't know if Antti has catered for both inverted and non-inverted
comms, so two files may be required along with a suitable circuit. This
may mean adding a serial 22K resistor for non-inverted comms in, or a
Max-232 type device for inverted comms.

The hex file(s) and instructions will be posted to a public place in the
very near future. It will be announced from possibly here and the
following List server.

A new List Server has been set up for SimmStick products:
Send a message to: sisuser-request@ip.co.za with JOIN or LEAVE in the

So stay tuned and don't change that dial!
