I currently have a backplane, that accepts 4.5x6.5in plugboards, running with 600nS read and write times. This (unofficial) "DIY_EFI_bus" provides the interface to the data acquisition/sensors circuits which may freely acquire data. This bus uses all HCT logic and seems to work fine. The cards that plug into this bus do "off load" burdens like frequency counting as I posted in the article "a 82c54 based computer tachometer". My goal at this point is to add a relatively fast CPU with enough resource to easily run software written in C (I would even like to use floats!). While I will maintain the slow external bus, I want a fast internal CPU bus. On two side-by-side plugboards, I would like to have the complete CPU portion of this controller (I may separately shield these two cards). Thanks for you comments on the AS. Hopefully ALS is somewhere between AS and HCT in terms of noise immunity. I sense a rocky-road ahead.... :( Anyone else with comments?

No problem here. I've been net-surfing for the same info, with not a lotta luck. Mitchell's manuals give better diagrams of things, as well as the manufacturer's service manuals. The tech schools usually get a lot of in-depth info from the man's, but I never could find any ECM diagrams. I wonder if the ECM rebuilders would be any help. They probably have a non-disclosure agreement against that, though. The tech school stuff had waveforms of crank/cam trigger timing, as well as more fuel system details. When they come out with this OBD-II thing, it will probably be easier to get information. The OBD spec itself is to be published by the SAE, I think. What are you trying to adapt?

What exact system I'll start with will depend on price, availability and the valued opinions of others who've done such conversions. I'd really like to know what was happening inside the "black box" before I install one on my prize and joy. Buying the commercially available SW for modifying parameters seems like a terrible copout. The system will first be installed on a well (over?) cammed 283ci. A 400 will replace the 283 when she blows, or needs major work, or when I get my next bonus....whichever comes first. Adjustability is an obvious factor for my EFI selection. I know of people who've done the conversion, but it surprises me that there aren't writeups available on the net. I'm hoping this line of questions will change that, or at least uncover those things that are available. And then there's that well kept secret about the format and meaning of the data of the EPROM...... -greg From owner-diy_efi Thu Jun 23 03:46:52 1994 Received: by coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu (920330.SGI/920502.SGI) id AA24473; Thu, 23 Jun 94 03:46:52 GMT Received: by coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu (920330.SGI/920502.SGI) for /usr/local/mail/majordomo-1.92/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l Diy_Efi -f Diy_Efi-Owner -h coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu -s -r DIY_EFI diy_efi-outgoing id AA24468; Wed, 22 Jun 94 23:46:51 -0400 Message-Id: <9406230346.AA24468@coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu> From: Dale Ulan Subject: Re: OEM EFI mods?

I've heard a lot of great things about this chip, but how much work is needed to develop a system? Is there a commonly available compilier, preferably in C? How about an evaluation or prototype system, which has the RAM, EEPROM (flash would be nice), A/D's, serial port, etc? I'm really interested in this chip, esp. because of it's supposed built in functions for finding missing teeth, etc. I've had bad experiences trying to do that with analog (phase locked loop) systems - I'd like to try the digital route this time.

Motorola has EVBs for the 68332. You can also find data about the chip at bode.ee.alberta.ca ( i hope that is correct ). There is a port for a C compiler available along with freeware assemblers. The Motorola databook for this chip gives a sample of an engine management system, fuel injection, crank trigger, and ignition. They don't give you any circuits but hint that it shoud be pretty simple. Cary McCallister
