Hi all, A recent email (Jan 2019) from Gary Weber of http://www.web8201.net <http://www.web8201.net/> repeaked my interest in the NEC8201/M100/M102 which I own.
I have a few NEC8201 some are stock and some modified extensively. https://scout.homeunix.org/wib/public/web/nec8201/index.htm <https://scout.homeunix.org/wib/public/web/nec8201/index.htm> This is a very very old web page which was running on a single chip Web in a Box, since the email from Gary it is now rehosted on one of my Mac Mini Servers. In time I will update the Web page and a new Blog I have started also on the same Mac Mini Server as I have a very large resource of information, modifications and original documentation from NEC a half a life time ago regarding the ROM code design. All this needs to be scanned and uploaded and made nicer to look at. In the last few weeks I have installed a REX3 recently purchased from Steve Adolph, fantastic piece of design and coding. This has been installed into my Red repainted NEC8201 and interfaced via RS232 with the Disk Drive as shown on my site above. I have future plans to manufacture a PCB with better quality ADC/DAC Data Aquisition hardware and machine code to access, I intend to incorporate high quality Inamps with Filtering and excitation included. My work these days is with the UNiversity of Adelaide working as an Electronics Instrumentation Technician, I also maintain Flight Simulators (military in the past). Due to retire from full time work in Jan2020 and build RC Boats and Electronic design. I have been considering building onto the same pcb as the above mentioned DAQ chips, an SDCARD storage, the whole lot to mate internally into the expansion port. All this is something I have wanted to do for years but life Parents/Children/Grandchildren/Work took first place. Cheers, TC
