After I finished the hardware to figure out you didn't want to make a driver.

They are not incorrect, they were just written by me wrong, and Mel alaways
gives me a hard time for some reason.  Ever since I told him I was making
an IDE chip with the AVR he thinks I know nothing because it is slow and he
thinks that I said it would do Ultra DMA or something.  It does get half of
PIO O though.  (Bottob of the line divided by two.  :)  )

Come to alaska then.

I just got a new computer on 6/12/98, and I only have a Microtek III
scanner for 3 days (I'm borrowing it).  before I got the new computer, I
never had a digitalizer.  I'll post a picture of the EIII.

>image on your site, I don't want it to be what gussie.alaska.net looks

I didn't say you did, But alot of other people wanted to.  I'm sorry.  I'll
have to meet your needs by provideing you a 2400dpi scanned image in a
million of colors, of my entire TI junk pile.

Yeah.  You saw it yesterday.  You saw a picture of a 25MHz mac with no FPU
and 4MB of ram serving the ACPlay www page.  You also saw a picture of a
33MHz 486SX running linux as my ftp server.  You saw a 5 year old netowrk
printserver/modem server/remote access server/ect.  You saw 2 100MB IBM
SCSI I drives, and in the picture you saw the old Asante' Print Server.

Okay.  Name a project and I'll find the source in my IBM.  I was just
jokeing about all those Es.  The furthest I got is the EIII which I will
post a picture of.

I will give you a picture of the EIII.  it is the version with 1MB of flash
and IDE hard drive.  I sold Jon Olsen (or will once he gets back) 2 of the
chips programmed for IDE.  I can't show a picture of the CalcNet because
the second you and the other 4 people said you didn't have time to write
the drivers, I ripped it off the bread board and started on the IDE thing.


Ohh...btw.  Please flame me off the list.  They do not need to hear
unsupported complaints.  I have source code to almost every TI project I've
made.  (Unless it was durring christmas, then its on my NEC)
