Hi, I have here a couple of I/O cards with 8255 on them (actually NEC D71055l-10). The problem is that quite often people shortcircut its outputs to the ground, or to +5V, or to another output. Usually the chip is dead then. I am looking for a replacement of these NEC chips from another manufacturer which would be much less sensitive to such problems. I don't really care about the output current (i don't need much), but I really need a chip which survives shortcircuits (lasting 1 - 2 seconds typically). Thanks in advance, Jacek. P.S. No chance to protect these chips on board. All outputs are directly connected to the 8255. Jacek.
