 Tenderfoot, Point of Sale Client

• Sole engineer for a mini Macintosh based on a Motorola 68331 microcontroller. Due to RAM and ROM restrictions a complete redesign existing ROM code had to be implemented. Written almost exclusively in C this product has a similar API to that of a Macintosh. Modules redesigned include; Debugger, with break, trace and disassembly, Real-time blocking operating kernel, Memory Management, Serial controller routines, LocalTalk implementation, ADB and real-time clock interfaces, Graphic LCD drawing and control routines.
• Designed Macintosh based simulator allowing code to be written and debugged on any Macintosh before actually having to program embedded ROMs.
• Custom designed and implemented a blocking multitasking kernel with Name binding, and low RAM overhead.
• Completely rewrote Localtalk from the LLAP, DDP, NBP, ZIP and AARP in ANSI C and optimized the stack to work with the kernel.
• Wrote the driver for Rockwell's 9624 data pump to handle Bell 212 and V.22 bis communications connections using both synchronous and asynchronous calls.
• Implemented an ANSI compatible file system to used with the battery backed RAM.
