AI Thread Summary
To interface an 8086 microprocessor with a single 8-bit wide RAM, connect the A0 pin to the RAM's data input/output and use the BHE (Bus High Enable) pin to enable the RAM, ensuring it operates in 8-bit mode. The A1-A19 address pins should be connected to the RAM to address the memory locations correctly. When only one RAM chip is used, BHE can be tied to ground to indicate that only the lower byte is active. The discussion highlights confusion regarding the necessity of using an 8088 instead of an 8086 for 8-bit data operations, but the 8086 can indeed work with a single 8-bit RAM. Proper connections allow the 8086 to function effectively with the specified RAM configuration.

How to interface 8086 to a single 8 bit wide RAM (only one RAM is given)? How to connect 8086's A0, BHE, A1-A19 pins to the mentioned RAM?

What have you found so far? This is a very easy question to find an answer for by using Google, or even looking at Intel's website...
 
I only found the interfacing to low bank and high bank. I can't find anything about interfacing to a single bank. How do I connect both A0 and BHE when there's only one RAM available? Not two.
 
I would think you'd need an 8088 instead of an 8086 in order to get an 8 bit data bus.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
