I would like to attempt to write vhdl which would
replicate the functionality of this device. Has anyone
ever done this so that I could study some of their
code? I'm fairly new to VHDL and haven't done
anything near this complicated. Any help that
can be offered would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

For about the cost of the IEEE specs,
I can buy a usb/gpip dongle ready to plug in.

If I really needed this function I would buy it.
If I wanted a hobby project,
I would pick something less than 10 years old.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I actually own about 5 different
controllers, from USB, RS232 and PCI card. My intent is to *learn*
VHDL and am looking for a meaningful project. That is my goal..
Thanks again.

If that is meaningful to you go for it,
but I wouldn't expect to find any related vhdl code.
The IEEE-488 spec came out in 1975.
VHDL wasn't in common use until the 1990s.
Here are my code examples:

Good luck.

Well - maybe meaningful was a poor choice of words. I figured it would
be a challenging project for me.
Take care

Maybe you could take part in some project at opencores.org?

This statement doesn't make any sense to me.
Anyway, I think it is a good project and I don't believe it is particular
difficult. Back in my university days I remember a student building one using an
ordinary 82C55 parallel port. Probably the most time consuming part will be the
software.
So Jim, go for it!
