Hi, I'm having a weird problem with a Mega8 running on the internal clock oscilator at 1 MHz. The internal Power-on Reset seems not to be working. Every time I power up the circuit, I have to manually reset the Mega8. The power at the Vcc pin rises from 0 to +5V in 4mS. The RESET

RS422 driver ought to do it. If its old, it probably has a 75176 or variant. They are a somewhat "heavier" load than most modern receivers. If the line length is fairly short (say, up to 25' or so), you don't need to terminate it quite so carefully. There is no real compatibility
