Hi Tom,

 

The EPR= OM for my SDK is not exactly the same code.  From a user=E2=80=99s per= spective it acts the same and all the main subroutine entry points are at t= he same addresses, but it will not directly run in a real SDK-85.  The= re are little things like the serial bits being inverted and needing to cha= nge the configuration of the display.  So unfortunately these 8755s wi= ll only run in the SDK-85+ board.  You may want to cancel that off the= order since you can download the code and program yours own when you get t= he full SDK-85+ with the display going.  Or you may want to just start= with the little MCS-85+ that just has the 8085, 8156, 8755, and 8185 since= it is a simpler build.

In the mean time, we can can= cel and revisit this existing order.  If you just want a blank 8755, t= here are some $5 ones on ebay.

 

Also, on ebay I noticed there was a very low cost needham EMP20 progra= mmer that can program 8755s (with the right personality card (which are rea= dily available)).  I think it was in the $50 range which is a steal if= it happens to work.

<= span style=3D'mso-ligatures:standardcontextual'>Hi Tom,

 

I see yo= u ordered some boards from tindie, thanks but I had a question.  I not= iced that you just ordered the SDK single board computer and not the keypad= / display board.  The board will operate by itself as a single board = computer, but if  you are using the SDK-85 monitor you also ordered, t= hat monitor will be expecting the keypad/display board.  If you alread= y have a keypad/display board, that is great.  I just wanted to check = before I sent these off since it will be cheaper to ship together than have= to come back and re-order later.  If you are going to write your own = software and not use the monitor, then you may not need the monitor code in= the 8755.   Since you are getting matt millman=E2=80=99s program= mer, you can always program that monitor code later if you need it.<= o:p>
