Expert Details
Smart Cards; Software: C, C#, Visual Basic.NET
ID: 108488
Pennsylvania, USA
Expert has designed and produced several 68000 microprocessor systems. These systems were developed using the free-running processor technique described in his book. The procedure permits an engineer to quickly breadboard and troubleshoot a new computer design without the typically expensive test equipment required by a conventional design approach.
Expert teaches classes on setting up and troubleshooting PC systems. He has installed systems using SCO UNIX, MS-DOS, and Coherent (a UNIX clone). He is familiar with the ISA bus (AT bus) architecture and hardware design requirements for boards running on the ISA bus. He has designed and developed a 68008 slave processor board to run in the IBM PC and clone environments.
