yup

that's the latest iteration of what I'm working on

16 bit open drain drivers, low voltage comparators, to a shift register output configured
as two long scan chains. You turn one of the open drain drivers on, then sense if any of
the pins are low through pogo pins

I had started with DIP clips, but they are too expensive, and they can't be used on the
IBM boards because the DIPS are only .1" apart.
