Hello Mick Mic> Yesterday we gave away the Aztech FM ISA tuner like trash. I surfed the internet - Mic> found how to steer it, in principle it’s easy to operate. So here's the question Mic> has anyone ever dealt with the issue of connecting to the Spectrum. There Mic> maybe some addresses have already been reserved, do you have a program? And then Mic> I'm sitting and thinking about attaching it to the Speckie or a regular receiver from it Mic> make a mess - I won’t throw it away anyway, but idleness will also result in rubbish Mic> so in bulk. Is it ISA8 or ISA16?

Hello skyther sky> Better make a scanner out of it, if of course the range is wide. It is not required to have frequencies higher than 108Mhz, so it is unlikely that a scanner can be used from it it will work out. Scanners are usually made from TV tuners, their range is much different get sick.

Hello Mike Mik> Is it ISA8 or ISA16? ISA8. But only the frequency synthesizer (LM7001) is programmed. In short, he has an address one 350h or 358h. By the way, connecting a pure piece of hardware to the spetrum is as easy as shelling pears. One single register. And control is carried out via a data bus of the SPI type interface. The only thing is to write a control program like Radiator on PC. So the question is which port to use - such as a standard.

So start using them, with a choice in the program, setup type.

Hello Mike Mik> You named the ports yourself. So invest in them, with a choice in Mik> program, setup type. Ha, logical :) - I didn’t even think about that. Although the ports there differ in the jumper on the board. On - 350h, off - 358h.

Hello Mike Mik> You named the ports yourself. So invest in them, with a choice in Mik> program, setup type. Yesterday I thought about logic like that. Today I dug up information about the MediaForte SF16 tuner - there ports start with 384h. That's the beauty of it - who is good at what. I'm here I think the ports in Specky on ###Ch are not used by anyone or what? Maybe someone will enlighten.

Just make it possible to manually enter the port in the setup and do as you want. :)
