[Coco] 6 Chip 6809 Computer - Final Design, Hopefully

[Kip Koon]

Hi Joe, 
Yes, the RS-232 is an all on situation.  I would be happy to add the 74LS04.  I had forgotten Grant had mentioned that.  I have not read his web page in quite a while.  <sheepish grin>  Let me look at want he said and I will make the necessary changes.  Any other ideas are of course welcome.

Nevermind, might have an FJN3301R transistor (built-in bias resistors). That and a 1K resistor should take the place of a single NOT gate. And I could just tack those onto the board. Unless of course you wanted to make space for a more readily available BJT (2N4401 or something) and a couple resistors ;)

Hi Kip,

If I wanted to use Grant's trick of enabling hardware flow control, is there space for the 74LS04 he recommends? I'm guessing no. In lieu of that, could I make a simple discrete NOT gate, maybe from a JFET or couple BJTs and cram it onto the board between the appropriate pins of the uart and max232?
