[sci.electronics] In Search Of...Semiconductor Company BBSs

rcte2q@jetson.uh.edu (12/01/90)

I am looking for bulletin boards run by semiconductor firms. I have used the
Motorola board and the Signetics 1-800 board.   Both of these were chock
full of goodies (68xx and 8051 stuff respectively).

I know Western Digital has a board, but I know not the number.  Does anyone
know if Maxim has a board?   Lastly, I need PAL logic design software. I hear
that many companies have free packages for their small PAL families, but I
don't know where to write.  (A small, simple PAL is what I need...) While I'm
on the subject, can anyone recommend a good intro to programmable logic? As
PALs, GALs, PLAs, etc are not part of the curriculim here, I'm having to learn
on my own .

I will summarize any e-mail responses in 1-2 weeks, as I have final exams
looming on the horizon....

Thanks!       Larry Liska, Univ. of Houston

What are the number of the boards with 8051 and 68XX stuff on them?
