as the title of the topic says, i need a circuit wich should be quite simple, shoudn't use any programeble devices, and UART.
what i want to do is to get the output from the serial port of a computer and convert it to an 8 bit output. i could use the paralel port, but it is used by a printer, and it has to stay connected permanently to the computer.
the problem is that all the circuts i found used UARTs and they are not available any more(the ones that they used).
so has anybody encountered a circuit on the net that is quite simple, doesnt require many parts, and can convert from serial to parallel?
also i wnat to have another circuit that converts from an 8 bit input to a serial wich will be connected to the same port. basicly i need something that does what an UART does.
any1 got any solution?
