I found an interesting gadget at a hamfest last
weekend. It's a Digi-Viewer
made by SwTPc. It's a gold colored metal box about 6 x 5 x 4 inches. It
has the outline of an IC on it and 16 lights around the outline to
represent each IC pin. There's a cable coming out of the box with a 16 pin
chip clip on the other end. It's AC powered and looks like it uses
incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs. I've never heard of one before but it
looks like a prehistoric IC pin status display. Anyone here ever use one of
these?
Yes, I have seen them, but that's about it. SWTPC made quite a few things
that were not related to thier 680x based micros - in fact some things
were not digital at all!
