Pspice 9, Student version. An nice alternative to drawing schematics by hand.
This is a Windows version. (I have tried to make it work under wine/Mac OS X but haven't been able to make it load the libraries correctly)
Make sure you select the schematics option when installing the software.
Select Tools/Schematics when starting the editor
The schematics editor is located in C:\Program Files\OrCAD_Demo\PSpice\PDesign.exe upon installation.
Download here!
PSpice Tutorial

9368
2114 1Kx4 RAM ( with timing information )
Octal D-Flipflop (we do not have these chips in our current collection of chips)

Good source of info on the 6811.
6811 FAQs.
The official Motorola | 68HC11A8 Data Sheet. Fairly cryptic...
A Motorola 6811 Manual. It is a nicely written refresher on many concepts of assembly language applied to the 6811.
- Check Section 3.2 on addressing modes (inherent, direct, extended, indexed, relative).
- Get a refresher for the different instruction types (arithmetic, shifts, control, etc) in Section 3.4.
- The condition code register is covered in Section 3.5.
M68HC11 Technical Reference, Motorola
- Section 6.5 shows the instructions in logical groups.
M68HC11 Pocket Reference.
- Very useful, on Page 15, a list of all the opcodes supported by the 6811, in numerical (hex) order.
68HC11A8 Technical Reference: a hardware and engineering description. of the 6811, its ports, and how it operates.
- See Section 10 for a cycle-by-cycle description of the execution of each instruction.
- See Appendix A, Figure A-14 for the timing diagram of a typical (multiplexed expansion) memory access.
