Hi All,
Attached is a link to some photos of the N8VEM ECB bus monitor I just built.

The design is pretty general as a Z80 bus monitor and the original C'T
Projekt article mentions you can build an adapter to convert the ECB
interface directly into a Z80 40 pin DIP socket. Although I haven't made
the adapter socket myself, it makes perfect sense to me since the ECB bus is
essentially just buffered Z80 bus signals and the bus monitor should not
notice the difference.
If you have any questions, just let me know. I have several of the PCBs
left if you'd like to build your own ECB bus monitor. The parts are fairly
inexpensive items and the PCB is only $20 plus shipping.
Clive and Rolf posted a bunch of videos of the ECB bus monitor in action so
you can see those to if you'd like. They are on the N8VEM website and on
Rolf's ECB pages.
Thanks and have a nice day!
