With the ongoing scarcity of the once popular modalities of AVRs (e.g. Atmegas, AVR-x, Slinger, etc), there's increasing need to hard-wire an internal AVR chip for the 722 and/or 9242 (622 equivalent) to run emu. To do this, as understood, would first require flashing the chip with a programmer to either rom 240 or 241 (commonly done with jeepers).
However, there are specific compatible AVRs chips. Specifically, wondering about either the AT90S8515-8PI vs. AT90S8515-8PC. Are they both compatible with dual-tuner IRDs? Any other suggestions of other chips used? What about the AT90S4414?
Finally, what's required to run it via USB to a thin-client computer? Rather than the phone line (RJ11)/serial (DB9) converter which has been more commonly used. Just wondering all the necessary supplies that would be needed. This is a guess of the list so far:
- flashed AVR chip
- female port (serial or USB) and cable to attach to computer
- soldering equipment and wires
Thank-you for any info.
