Table of Contents

1 Curtis Franklin, Jr.	Editor's INK Working Smarter, Not Faster
5	Reader's INK Letters to the Editor
8	Visible INK Letters to the INK Research Staff
11 Ken Davidson	The X-10 IR543 Infrared Gateway/Controller Control your lights with your trainable IR remote Infrared remote control is becoming more important as a gateway into building control systems. Having that gateway and knowing how to control it can give you a leg up in this burgeoning control area. Download: X10IR.HEX X10IR.PAS
18 Chris Ciarcia	A Neural Network Approach to Artificial Intelligence Using a Neural Network for dealing with Real-World Data Neural Networks are a promising technology in the push for more capable computers. The theoretical foundations of neural nets are important tools for building real-world applications. Shape recognition and discriminating machine vision are examples of applications possible today. Download: ANN.FOR PFT.FOR SAMPLRUN.TXT
28 Scott Farley	The ADALINE Learning Neuron A One-Node Net for Computer Learning Most neural network research involves large budgets and even larger mainframe computers. But artificial neurons can be harnessed for useful work on a modest desk-top computer. Handling "fuzzy" data is not a problem limited to the laboratory; a simple neuron on a common microcomputer can bring irregular data into useable focus. Download: ADALINE.BAS
36 John Eng	An Intelligent SCSI Data Acquisition System for the Apple Macintosh Part 1 -- Building the Hardware The SCSI Bus offers important performance benefits compared to standard RS-232 links. Properly implementing the protocol requires an intelligent peripheral, but the intelligence and performance can bring impressive application results. The first of two parts looks at the hardware for an intelligent 12-bit A/D converter. An Apple Macintosh is the host computer for this application of distributed intelligence. Download: DAQ3000.ASM
44 Jeff Bachiochi	From the Bench The Invisible Net Download: INVNET.ARC
50 Tom Cantrell	Silicon Update The Waferscale Integration PAC1000 -- Microcontroller, RISC, or PLD?
55 Jack Ganssle	Software by Design Computing CRCs in Parallel
60 Ed Nisley	Firmware Furnace From Fixed Point to Floating Point and Back Again -- Writhing Reals Download: FPCONV.ARC
65	Advertiser's Index
69 Jeff Bachiochi	Build an 87xx Programming Adapter
74 Ken Davidson	ConnecTime -- Excerpts from the Circuit Cellar BBS
80 Steve Ciarcia	Steve's Own INK The Good Old Ways
