Greetings!

  I've just ordered a Miniboard 2 with 68HC811E2FN processor.  I'm in the
process of acquiring all the info I can on the device to program it to
perform a VERY simple task of reading in an analog signal and then spitting
out 16 bits of sequential data, once a second after the power has been
turned on to the board, which represents the input signal.  I don't need
handshaking, just the 16 bit stream each second.
  I have worked with the 68B02 processor and am familiar with the memory map
ROM and the idea of setting up a startup sequence to initiate a program at a
given address in memory.  I understand that this chip has 2K of EEPROM space
and no ROM.  Is there a type of bios that must be placed at a given
memory location so that the board will begin to operate?
  Thanks in advance!

-Jim
