Hello all!
I recently acquired several Motorola (and other vendor) EXORbus cards.
Included are a couple of Micro Module 1A CPU cards, some I/O and memory
cards, and two boards that almost look like video cards.
I need docs for the cards, but I'll post the list in a separate message, as
I'm away from the cards right now.
My initial questions are:
- Does anyone have general documentation on the EXORbus itself? I'd like
mechanical and electrical specs, pinouts, power supply requirements, timing
diagrams, etc. Electronic format would be awesome, but other than that, I'd
pay copying and postage for hardcopies.
- Does anyone know where to get the 86-pin card-edge connectors so I could
wire up a backplane to plug these beasties into?
- Anyone have any EXORbus stuff they want to get rid of? :-)
Thanks!

HI Rich,
I'm glad to see someone else is interested in the Motorola
stuff. Steve Robertson has a **bunch** of docs for the EXOR-bus stuff. He
and one other list member (I can't think of his name right now) are the one
two that I know of that are seriously interested in the EXOR-bus stuff. I'm
interested in it but I have too many projects already so I've been passing
all the stuff that I find onto them. I've got a pile of EXOR-bus cards
here right now that I need to go through. Steve and I were supposed to get
together at the UCF hamfest last weekend and I was going to give it all to
him but both of us had other things that we had to do so we never made it.
I do have a GOOD book about the EXOR_bus and the other Motorola stuff
of that vintage. It's The Complete Motorola Microcomputer Data Library
printed by Motorola in 1978. It's about 2 1/2" thick and has very good
descriptions of all of the EXOR_bus cards, related developement systems,
software, etc. I don't want to get rid of it but I'll loan it to you. (I
already have two piles of books that I need to send you!) I also have
several other old Motorola books that may be on interest but I don't think
they specificly talk about the EXOR-bus.

I think I have a couple of Micro A CPU cards with 6809s on them. For
some reason, a lot of those have been turning up down here. I have what
looks like video card that was made by Matrox (sp?). Matrox builds
**very** high end PC video cards.
I need docs for the cards, but I'll post the list
in a separate message, as

Yes, I have all that.

that, I'd

Hmm. I found several EXOR-bus card racks but gave them all to
Steve. He would probably be willing to part with a couple.
