The SRIO handler requires just only 75 uS to fetch the data from 128 digital input pins and to write out data to 128 digital output pins.
What this means is that he’s reading 128bits (from 16 74HC165 shift registers, all connected serially, IIRC) AND writing 128 Bits (into [...]

Hm, quite a cool idea: start all blog posts with a name of a former music-hardware-vendor :)
Anyway, while waiting for the LCD display which finally arrived on sunday (well, it arrived on saturday, but we didn’t pick up the notice that it’s been delivered to our neighbour, so I only fetched it on sunday, but [...]
