* CS2 1000-17FF
* CS6 3000-37FF
* CS7 3800-3FFF
*
* cut and paste hex object machine code text strings

Here is a picture (above) of my SDK-85 as it is now, the teensy takes care of the boot-up timing, the communication to convert the 110 baud to 9600 baud, and the VFD display, (at the top).
---->
To address the three 28C16 eeproms I use a 74ls573 to 'de-multiplex' out the low order address pins from the data bus, ( Shown in upper right corner with the three 28C16 eeproms ).
I use CS2 , CS6, and CS7.
To program the 28C16 eeproms I use Ben Eaters schematic, ( on YOUTUBE ) and his modified code.
Here is a picture of the 110 baud connector, and the 9600 baud connector. ( The upper left DB9 connector, and below the small TTL to USB converter ).
Here is a picture of the VFD display, controlled by the teensy.
I have a relay for the reset control of the SDK-85, because I cycle power as well.
Originally the 'SDK-85' monitor was made to work with the ASR33 Teletype, here is the circuit installed on the 'SDK-85' board, so that those with computers with a serial port will be able to communicate and debug assembly programs at 110 Baud....
