This means hooking up the signals that matter on an I/O board, to the MM Bus signals. I have used other methods in the past, such as plugging a driver chip into one of four socket positions. But this uses up more components, and more real estate, and is not as flexible, as the plan I have outlined here. http://www.themaximitecomputer.com/maximite-io-board-address ing-for-bus-cable-interfacing/ I welcome all comments. Please bear in mind, if you don't like this, then please give me your alternative, and we can start kicking that around. If you do like it, but have suggestions on possibly better ways of implementing it, then let us know, and we can kick that around too. If we can "Move Forward" (Credit-Joolia) with this, I can then outline our first prototype board, which I am already mapping out, but held up by board addressing. Design by committee is like playing with dynamite (Maximite?), a very dangerous thing to do, but I'm young, I can take it. Cheers Don... https://www.dontronics.com
