Magazine Issues 45, 46, 47 and 48.
This is the end of 'AMIGA-Project1.lha'...
Another simple AMIGA project in Issue 49 is out NOW!!!
Enjoy... :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The project is an '8 Channel Event_Detector' that uses the parallel port
in READ mode. The project sticks rigidly to my 'Criteria' for projects for
youngsters to construct. No special knowledge of the AMIGA parallel port
is necessary to build this project. The default software to run the
project is written in ARexx, plus others, and the code is also written for
youngsters to understand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Assumptions:-
---------------------
That You Should Have A Basic Knowledge Of:-
-------------------------------------------
1) How to set up the AMIGA.
2) How to BOOT up the AMIGA into either a CLI, (Command Line Interface),
or a WorkBench screen.
3) How to use the Keyboard.
4) How to use the Mouse.
5) How to start programs from the CLI or WorkBench.
6) The general operation of WorkBench, windows and requesters etc...
7) How to format a floppy disk.
8) How to create a BOOTABLE floppy disk.
9) Safely connecting ANY external equipment to the AMIGA.

Testing Evaluation:-
--------------------
An A1200(HD) in 2MB, 6MB and 10MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR
PCMCIA memory expansions. Also an A600(HD) using KS2.0x with 1MB, 2MB
and 6MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR PCMCIA memory expansions.
All test conditions WERE/ARE using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout.
I have no idea what a strange configuration setup will create so refer
to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.

1) DISCONNECT any faulty equipment under test from the MAINS supply.
