Default Re: Idiot building a MK14 thread

I should probably scale back my original statement about the book being 'The manual the MK14 should have come with'. It is not a replacement for the manual - for instance it doesn't have the large number of example programs and routines in it that the original manual does, but it does have a lot of stuff in which SHOULD have been in the original manual, such as the greatly expanded (almost fully English) descriptions of what each instruction does, the section on subroutine calls and how to use them, the section on Input / Output which covers how to write to the display, how to read from the keypad and has more detailed information about the I/O portion of the 8154 I/O chip, and the section about interrupts, DMA and multiprocessing.
