I competed in the horserace called eBay last week and acquired what to me is a wonderful
piece of hardware- A commercially produced 8088 single board computer that uses ALL TTL
logic except for the 8088 processor itself. It has a compliment of 8 bit input and output
ports made with 20-pin TTL chips, and the docs include full schematics. I can now adapt
the design to other 8088 SBC computer ideas I have. It has a BASIC interpreter in ROM and
the console is over a serial port. It apparently can burn EPROMs on-board and has about
five open sockets for adding code. It's all on about a 5"x7" card and hails
from the year 1992. It has, uh, all the power of a current-generation PIC from Microchip,
but in a much neater package.
It's a Vesta Technology, Inc. SBC88A.
