Apple II parallel cards (Apple Inc. brand) have the ability to produce interrupts. _______________ | | | | | | | | |1|2|3|4|5|6|7| switch 7 controls interrupts. with it in the ON | | | | | | | | position, interrupts are enabled. --------------- SLOT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -------------------------------------------------------------- Enable IRQ -16234 -16218 -16202 -16186 -16170 -16154 -16138 ($C086+s0) -------------------------------------------------------------- Disable IRQ -16233 -16217 -16201 -16185 -16169 -16153 -16137 & autostrobe ($C087+s0) -------------------------------------------------------------- An acquaintance (Bob R.) just sent me a multi program switcher for the Apple II similar to ExtraK. I loaded it into WOZBOTS drive and he now runs around the house with multiple programs in memory (speech software in one bank, mapping software in another, etc) It would be neat to make a programmable interrupt generator for the parallel card so he can automatically switch between programs and check sensors on interrupts. Send the circuit a time (8bits) and it would generate an interrupt once each time period.
