Hi All
I've recently managed to get my hands on Zilogs ZDOTS single boar computer for the ez80 AcclaimPlus! mcu. I'm trying to figure out the bes way to hook the board up to my PC and "communicate" with it, and it look like it's going to be an expensive process (meaning that I have to buy one of Zilogs "smart cable" accessories to talk to the module via etherne cable).
My question is:
Has anyone at comp.arch.embedded had any success communicating with th Zdots module without using Zilogs SmartCable accessories? i.e Directl using the rs232 port or other mechanism?
In general, it looks like information on using the Zdots sbc from Zilog i really thin on the ground (other than the standard product spec on zilog' site), so it looks like it's not in widespread use at the moment ...
Any first hand information on using this gizmo would appreciated :-)
Regards, Arch
