Hi,

Very cool adapter. I also use the 8051 a lot, so I have a couple of questions.

Regarding the adapter, is it possible to print a PDF of the schematic. That way we don't have to install the software and it's easier to see the adaptation than the actual PCB.

Regarding compatibility, is the 8051 a superset of the 8048/49?  Does it have mostly the same instruction set and peripherals?

By the way, at my work we probably have some good quality 8048 tools (assembler, etc) on 5.25" floppies that I could probably attempt to read. I'm not sure if they are better than the "universal" assemblers I've seen. I think we even have an old ICE somewhere. What 40-pin DIP 8051 where you planning on using with your adapter?  I like the newer ones that have built-in debugging rather than ICE.
