Very curious about your synth project.  When you get it going, an update
would be great

REX does not use any IO ports.  Good luck with your project.

[M100] Hello, and REX question

2019-05-10 Thread Dan Higdon
Hello all, I'm a new M102 owner (the last two months). I've been having a
lot of fun messing around with my new little friend. I just recently
purchased a REX chip for it, and I have a question about how the REX
interacts with the system bus.

Specifically, does it use any of the expansion i/o port addresses. and if
so, which ones?

I ask because I'm considering breadboarding the simple parallel
input/output circuits in that "inside the model 100" book (probably not the
actual title, but I'm not near my pdf of that book right now.). I have it
in mind to generate 8 trigger/gate signals to control some analog
synthesizer modules, and I don't want to accidentally corrupt data in the
REX by outing values to a port that's being used for something else. (I
realize the ModelT's performance may not be up to precision drum machine
standards :), but these sorts of projects are fun for me.)

Thanks in advance for any details,
Dan Higdon
