Folks

please remember that there are 4000 other people reading these messages, and many of them are already becoming overloaded with the traffic levels we've been seeing.

a resume fight isn't going to help this situation at all. and will probably end up with more users joining johnny in the moderation queue.

During my fellowship I wrote a real-time data acquisition app in 6502 assembler that used a custom circuit board that served as a Schmidt trigger to clean up a square wave from the cardiotachometer we used.


While that may sound impressive to some, this is almost identical to a project I was given as an assignment as a first-year undergraduate. Schmidt triggers are uncomplicated circuits (you can get four of them in a 4093 chip anyway).

Those of use who are slightly too young to have grown up with minicomputers and cut our teeth instead on first-gen home micros, ate, slept and breathed 6502 assembler, as it was the only option for getting any performance out of those machines. I also home- brewed a digital oscilloscope from a KIM-1 so real-time data acquisition with a 6502? Been there, done that. Have to admit it wasn't very good as the 1MHz processor speed did somewhat limit its bandwidth... but it worked.
