¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTo start with, the 8516 test set does not use a serial communications scheme. The cable is most likely a parallel cable. Why it was specified as RS-232 is strange, unless the thought was that those were very common so a couple of crossed wires (pins 2 & 3 as I recall) were anticipated. Or, they simply did not use those pins since I doubt they needed 25 conductors anyway. This is based on my experience with the 8753 test sets, however,. ?

A4 and A3 and not A2 and A1 and not A0. To decode serial data, you need flip-flops, some storage to convert serial to parallel and then act on that. CPLD's can do that, but with most PAL chips, depending on what's internal, it would be difficult. Generally, PALs are used to decode address lines to enable a specific chip. Harvey ?
