The part it links to is a ready-made .profile you can use for the Bash shell. It will configure everything you need to run/use Nekoware seamlessly.

Thanks for that link! I knew the wiki covered it in detail somewhere, but I couldn't find it. That's much more complete than what I wrote above.

Interesting recipe there. I've never been a fan of tofu, but your spiced and crispy-fried version actually looks good.

The instructions in your first message say to write the .bin file to a 27C256 (or equivalent). That's the part number for a pretty common EPROM chip. So you need both an EPROM programmer (a.k.a. EPROM burner; i.e., a suitable piece of hardware) and the software to drive it, which might well be specific to your hardware. (Which is what I think ClassicHasClass meant when he mentioned an "appropriate tool".) So the exact details of writing to the chip will vary, which is why the instructions are vague. Googling for EPROM programmers will lead you in the right (and write! ) direction.

Your questions suggest that you're not familiar with the process, so it might be easier/cheaper/quicker to find somebody with a suitable EPROM burner to make the chip for you rather than getting an EPROM burner and trying to figure out how to use it.

No, the AT89C2051 is the main chip on the adapter board that you build from the layout and schematic you downloaded from kbdbabel.org. I don't see a 27C512 in the layout, though. In fact, the only place I see it mentioned is in the one line you quoted about writing the .bin file to the chip. That, in turn, is a comment at the start of the .asm file which contains the assembly language code for the AT89C2051 microcontroller. So you need to burn the .bin file into the AT89C2051 microcontroller's built-in memory (as robespierre mentioned) using an external programmer before doing final assembly of the circuit board you're making.

And forget everything I said about the 27C512 chip that's mentioned in the instructions. Having looked at the schematic and layout, I don't see one actually being used. (It's probably from a different version of the adapter.)

But I've wanted one of these for decades.

Congratulations on getting an awesome car! I think everyone I knew wanted one of those (well, actually it's Dodge Stealth twin) back in the day.

Good luck with the project, and I hope you have lots of fun with the car!
