#134228 - the RESET pin
I'm starting a new thread because I think that the RESET pin can help me program the EEPROM. This topic is different from the "boolean algebra" topic.

I was just curious. When RESET is held high on a standard 8051 chip, are all port pins set to high-impedance? In other words, can I apply 0V or 5V without a resistor in series to any port pin on the microcontroller without damaging it as long as RESET is high?

What I plan to do is use a couple of 74HC573 latches to hold the address and data from the parallel port, so that while the microprocessor is in reset (reset pin is high), I could program the EEPROM directly from the parallel port.

I will also have to somehow tie the WE pin to the parallel port as well.

I want to confirm this before I get carried away and find myself with a hot and useless 80C51-BH CPU.

            not picky Lynn, you need to read            01/01/70 00:00      
               I stand corrected            01/01/70 00:00      
               after reading the link            01/01/70 00:00      
                  not entirely            01/01/70 00:00      
         I got the point            01/01/70 00:00      
         That's funny...            01/01/70 00:00

            Missing the point            01/01/70 00:00      
               It looks quite simple to me            01/01/70 00:00      
                  but it is also an output            01/01/70 00:00      
                     There's no excuse!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        of course not!            01/01/70 00:00      
      I agree            01/01/70 00:00      
         She?            01/01/70 00:00      
            haha            01/01/70 00:00      
   You\\\'re allowed to do whatever you want,            01/01/70 00:00      
   Depends...            01/01/70 00:00      
   so now what has been presented several            01/01/70 00:00
