I remember that older DSKs -- ones with basic emulation circuitry but without
the
"obfuscation brick" that doesn't show on the schematics of newer DSK boards
-- could
pass SDConfig, for example 6711, 5402, etc. But newer DSK boards, I'm not
sure.
SDConfig would need to know something about the Area 51 circuitry on these
boards --
knowledge beyond the typical XDS510 class emulator -- to make emulation work
over the
embedded USB port.
My guess is that Mike can say which DSK boards SDConfig can be used with.
