Hi
I used to make systems with std bus boards. We used board
with a Z80. These had a serial port and some parallel port as
well. I forget the name of the manufacture.
I had a Forth running on them that I implemented from
a F-83 version.
We made many of our own parallel I/O cards. It seems like the
manufactures of these thought 16 outputs was a lot. We made boards
with as many as 64 ins or outs.
We had an extended card that could sample 32 RTDs on an interrupt
driven system. We'd load as many as 6 of these cards on a single
Z80 and still have it run a front panel.
I still have a number of boards and maybe 3 or four racks. I expect
to play with them some day.
Dwight
