If you want to help adding more chip entries to
this chip directory, please send them by email in (about)
the correct format.
The chip entries are added to the numerical list
and the functional lists are generated from these
(If the category field is filled in).
Since the real lists are automatically generated
from source files, you will have to provide the
lists in this source format. (Which is very
similar to the final format.)
The current source format is (all on one line...):
chip name
tab_character (or spaces)
category
tab_character (or spaces)
chip_description
(=compatible_with,
manufacturers
)
<a href=url_on_manuf_site>Data</a>
<a href=url_on_manuf_site>PDF</a> (size of file)
<a href=url_on_manuf_site>PS</a> (size of file)
other data about the chip
Example:
i486 mpu* Micro* processor (=i386+, AMD, Intel*)
<a href="http://www.intel.com/i486.htm">Data</a>
You can leave out parts of this format, as long as it's
done consistently and if the order of elements is right.
A long listing which has a consistent other order of elements is no problem either,
because it's quite easy to write a small program to convert it.
To easily gather data:
Load all data pages from a manufacturers site and convert the data to the appropriate format or
Scan a list from a data book, OCR it and check and convert it by hand or
Type in things by hand.
Currently there are enough sites of category 1,
to not bother to do categories 2 and 3, I think...
If you want to make sure, you're not doing a site
that I have already done, email me a list of sites you propose to do.
