Not divisions; simple counting circuits, the intervals as Kajtar Zsolt described. Starting number, 214 128 toggled every 2 numbers 64 toggled every 5 numbers 16 toggled every number 4 toggled every 7 numbers 2 toggled every 3 numbers 1 toggled every 6 numbers The pattern repeats every 420 numbers. (I neglected that 14 and 60 have a common factor). Each operation affects only one bit, the whole chip would require 8 counting circuits and perhaps a couple registers. The output would require a latched register. This is from writing 0, followed by 1. Now that I have a formula, I can test what other numbers might do. wlevak@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-05-12 09:00:14
