Although I’ve been attempting to have a common ground for this whole project — I’m not sure that is going to happen. At least not at this stage of the game. I tried connecting the ground off the floppy...

SX microcontroller with 74HC132
Here’s a picture of the prototype coming together. From the top down on the breadboard, you see a pull-up resistor, on the input that comes in on the yellow wire. The output comes out of the grey wire on the right...
Using a 74HC132E to square up the wave
A nice gentleman from sci.electronics.* newgroup suggested I use a 74HC132 on his web page here.[local copy] Below is the result of using this design, it worked perfectly. Only required one IC, one resistor, and one...
Current status updated
Current status updated I was originally going to use a Microchip PIC, but they are just too darn slow. I gave up on the idea of using the PIC as a one-chip solution, and tried to use it as just a clock generator feeding...
