C3 ECM, 8192 possible?

Just curious of the experts' thoughts. Is it possible (albeit it would require a ROMless conversion most likely) to convert a C3 ECM to 8192 baud? For that matter, re-write things so it just sends the data *you* want it to..?

For a full blown data acquisition system look at Lockers. Every RAM location plus 6 10-bit ADC channels at 56KB (async serial). Software and hardware is an open design.

For something along the lines of a P4 ECM (8192 & 63 bytes of data) an add on card can also be done. No code changes required. It would be a basic or cut down Lockers system. Could also do something with added hardware and code changes that would be easier.

The C3 ECMs bit-bang the 160 baud data out via an I/O port. At a minimum would probably need a UART to serialize the data.

RBob.

Like RBob said, Lockers.
Nothing approaches it.

The ROMless is an option, but then you wind up with one of a kind ecm. I won't plug the idea of doing source code for a P4
