Output to D/A Converter

I am trying to determine what code I need to get an 89C51 to output 8 bits connected to a DAC 0806, and which pins to connect between both chips.

My program calculates floating point numbers between 1 and 9 in increments of 0-255.

The Datasheet of the DAC0806 will tell you what signals it requires - it is up to you to choose what pins to use to implement these!

"floating point numbers between 1 and 9 in increments of 0-255"

What???

It will, indeed. I know it is hard that you actually have to read.

Just a word of caution, get the datasheet from the manufacturers website, not from joeblowsdatasheetcollection.com or some such place. Such sites are notorious for carrying datasheets that are outdated in a few cases downright WRONG (e.g. prerelease with errors).
