|    plural       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       Fora is certainly correct       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          no, it's not ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             great post!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    I think the biggest problem is with the AT       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       maybe       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          It's not necessarily the product ... it's the docs       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             OK let them be so       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                It's true, they shouldn't be used by anyone.       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   What would you suggest to use?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      Anything else at all would be fine ... even a PIC       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         Whaaaat???       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            ANYTHING but Atmel products!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               Come on, Richard...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  well, I, for one, agree with Richard       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     Bullshit! Stating such is entirely ridiculous!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        how can a FACT be \\\'ridiculous\\\"?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           It's ridiculous, because you deduce...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              single event?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 Yes, and hundreds of events with Philips,       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    a VERY high up 'idiot'       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 Well, mine was a long series of events       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    there may be hope, sorry Kai       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       It will be a WARM December day in Moscow       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                          maybe someone found out       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                             The penalty isn't severe enough       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                                blame the rest of the bunch       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                                   Well, as I said, it's like U.S.-made cars       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  If they'll do it to US, they'll do it to YOU!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     Do you really think that others are better??       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        all comapanies have things to blame them for       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Indeed!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              a maxim about maxim       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              Once upon a time ... there were second sources ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        I don't love Philips, either       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           I don't 'love' any company, but I 'love' to work w       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              Once upon a time there were FAE's who knew things.       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 once upon a time ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    Yes, it\'s like the grocery store       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       The biggest problem is       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          do it - under my name       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             All right, here is it...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                Kai .. we're not getting a bit sensitive here ?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   noooooo................  hmm, maybe a bit...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      Why does this come up so frequently?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         Because there is so much trash in the www!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            Maybe we can provide a local "fix" for that       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               Great idea, but...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  the other side of the coin       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     A fool who trusts on phantasy programmers       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        Kai the issue is       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Exactly!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Little Joe       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              did you not know       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              especially since he\'s been deceased for some time       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        Lots of those "fantasy" programmers are for sale       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           What a trash!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              Oddly enough, similar circuits work for JTAG       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 Driving cables is nasty!!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    framkly, I wish eval-board makers would heed this       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       Have you tested series termination?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                          would be great, but       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                          Kai, I think that would be a WONDERFUL addition!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     Well, what I am thinking ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        Yeah, but what's that to do with ISP?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        grits, yes, oatmeal, no       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Some of 'em will look, read, and do SOME work       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              and the winner is       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                An alternative to Atmels ISP CABLE       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   Profiting from highest noise margins       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   comparator       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      Not so well suited...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         I don't understand.       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            Check the spec-sheets       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            I am sorry...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               cables et al       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  Cables...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     software       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        ps       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        To be honest...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Atmel software... a piece of @%^&       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              it's for amateurs       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 ??       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              Not at all       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 dear amateurs, be realistic       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    Erik, did you mean...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       Why, oh, why       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                          why, oh why       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                             not the issue       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 but you ARE professional!!!!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    now, I'm going to upset Richard       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       ICE?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       No success stories       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                          Exactly!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       Grrrr!  Well, maybe not this time ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              it makes you wonder, doesn't it?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   ATMEL cable with the HC       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      another idea       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         please, pretty please       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            there is no magic       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               you said it       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  you got me wrong       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     do not blame me for what YOU said :)       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        teaching is hard       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           good analogy, the question is       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              when I turned my back...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 you forgot       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                    filter       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                       nope       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         upside-down       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            and the 3rd reader       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               he already did       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  a good one       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     tell it beforehand       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               The newbie SHALL try to build his stuff, but...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  allow a reply of \"you stupid idiot\" to anyone       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         Will not do the trick, unfortunately       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            decoupling the LPT lines?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               Low state noise margin...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  and with a Schottky?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     No, I wouldn't recommend this       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        www.reichelt.de       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                           Ok, to be more precisely...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                              can you please draw it down?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                                 Replace the 74VHC244 in the original circuit       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     How would a germanium work?       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        Could work!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                thanks, Kai!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   Schottky diodes       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      to Schottky or not to Schottky :-)       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         Yes, but we must assume a minimum standard...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            shopping       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               My point is..       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         You can use an array       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            Your search - 74S1023 - did not match any document       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               SN74S1053       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               OOPS!  it is 74S1053 ... sorry!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    the issues       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    a most telling thread       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       The root problem is that the first thing one needs       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    "dedicated programmer"       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       what's difficult to understand ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          Ok, how do you propose they program and erase the       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             I would not be quite so sure about that       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             Keep in mind that this is for newbies ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                but they still have to build it       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       Only because it looks simple does not mean...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          he's desperate       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          there are lots of circuits published like this!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             I used to have memory mapped I/O in virtual       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                I wouldn't say that ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   that threy learn to drive with a stick shift       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      Once again, you are exaggerating ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                         the point I\'m trying to make (and believe that I       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            Yes, but in 101 you've got to use a '51 or '31       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               nonono       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  Perhaps you\'re right, in this case ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     I don't think so       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                        Ah but..       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               halelujah!       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                            the problem with RD2 is...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                               what cost the most       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                  cost       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                                     patience is what it takes       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          let's sort it out       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    Richard, you aregue things that, while valuable ,       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|    Its not the cables if you ask me.       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       an interesting thought       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          It's probably not JUST this part ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       not the cable alone       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          it will, but       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|       It simply has to do with the numbers       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|          maybe not quite ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|             I was assuming...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                a case like that ...       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                   I have       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       | 
|                      Perhaps it's that the approach is wrong       |        | 01/01/70 00:00       |
