Cool beans, cables shouldn't be all that difficult, IEEE 488 cabling and PCB connectors are still bog standard. The Wikipedia IEEE-488 article has some interesting possibilities, especially if you can find an OLD HP-Calculator or some such cruft with that interface.

@Eudi: Looks like you could hook your PETs or a Commodore 64 up to a Mac using one of these cards  .  .  .

.  .  .  to what purpose, I have no idea, but it might be fun. [:D] ]'>

Nice linkage, Macaccess, you got me looking for crap about my National Instruments card. Al, looks like we've got a multipurpose DIO interface, mine's the NB-DIO-32F, Assembly 180507  REV-D with the  Rev.D ©1987 ROM on board . I found the pinouts for the IDC-50 internal and external connectors. IIRC, from what I've just read, it's apparently the only NuBus card they made with 3 bits per channel. I always meant to look into doing robotics or something silly with mine, probably won't happen now  .  .  .

.  .  .  but you never know what might happen in the 68k development community these days! [;)] ]'>
