I cobbled together a breadboard of TTL (mostly
latches/counters and
muxes) which, with suitable software support on the host, lets me read
ROMs via a parallel port. It's not especially fast, but it's a good
deal faster than a serial line....I really need to transfer it from a
breadboard to something a bit more permanent. If there's interest I
can draw up a schematic and parts list....
An accessory for the Epson RC20 Wrist computer was a "ROM Roader" (SIC)
that was a little box with a ZIF socket and a serial cord (mini-phone)
