[ukvac] Tech: uPD8216 equivalent?

Hi everyone

As the title says, is there an equivalent for the uPD8216 four-bit bus
driver chip?

TIA

Dave

Re: [ukvac] Tech: uPD8216 equivalent?

if it's on a galaxian, use the 74245 or 8304 socket instead.

if it's not on a galaxian, see if you have a galaxian you can nick 2
from and use a .... (etc)

I'm unaware of a pin compatible for it (doesn't mean there isn't one
mind you)

Cheers Mike. I thought you'd probably be the guy to answer my question

It's actually for an Amidar bootleg, on the sound circuit. It's not
your usual Amigo as it's only got one 8255 on the top board instead of
two. It does use Amigo ROMs. No sockets for 74245's or 8304's though.

Anyone spare me a couple of 8216's?? Cash waiting!

Dave
