286, SPI, and a 6522 VIA

I recently added basic SPI support to my 80286 system with the help of a W65C22S Versatile Interface Adapter (VIA).

PSoC Configuration

I am currently using a programmable system-on-chip (PSoC) from Cypress to handle address decoding. Below is the current configuration of the PSoC.

Schematic

The following schematic is as of 23 November 2022.

SD Card Support

I have now added support to read from an SD card.

I have an older post that contains some of my previous (troubleshooting) work with SPI and SD cards. See Calling All SPI SD Card Wizards: Troubleshooting SD Card Access with SPI (rehsdonline.com).
