As you will be working on a 70x1 first, I'll post the timing information and the mapping modes as they apply to the 70x1. The information is awkwardly available in the the TMS7000 Family Data manual. You have to look in the 5 page Appendix C and then flip back to an applicable table from the 70x0 or 70x2 sections. I'll unravel the page-flipping nonsense and type up a complete 70x1 listing. Later I'll use that to do one for the 70x0 and 70x2.

I've got the 70x2 Microprocessor Interface Mode spreadsheet mostly done. I'll quickly make a 70x1 version since you'll be using that soon. Later I'll make a 70x2 version also.

The spreadsheet allows you to enter a crystal frequency and recalculate for parameter timings (all the formulas are based on the crystal frequency after the 7000 series Divide-By-Two oscillator input circuit.

I'll be busy for about a week and a half, but I'll generate and post this stuff in parts, when I need a distraction from everything else.

Anything involving the TSM7000 I'll post on the CTS titled discussion thread. Any SP & SPR will be on the thread about reverse engineering the SPO...
