[ont.general] 680nn "play" board recommendations needed

oz@yetti.UUCP (Ozan Yigit) (09/15/86)

I need some recommendations for a 680nn "play" board, to dedicate to
a single program, to be controlled through a serial port. What
I need specifically is as follows:

	680nn chip running reasonably fast (>= Mac)
	128k or greater memory
	one or two serial port(s)

I do not need memory management, disk controllers, or any other bells
and whistles. All I want to do is to dedicate it to running a single
program, and use my PRO/350 to load the program through the serial port,
feed the input, and wait for output. Faster the board, better it is.
What I need is something like the board build @ Vanderbilt University 
for teaching (BYTE), except hopefully faster, with a lot more memory.

All recommendations, contact addresses, opinions etc. would be much
appreciated. [Please do not recommend any NS32.... boards. I am *not*
interested.]

thnx.... Oz

     In regard to Oz's request for recommendations for a 680xx system, you
might think about picking up a Sinclair QL.  I expect that these are going
fairly cheaply now that the machine is defunct.  You could call Gladstone
Electronics on Avenue Rd. and see if they have any left.

	That was a nice idea, and I called them as soon as I saw
	the suggestion. Sigh... they ran out. Since I have not
	heard any other suggestions, I presume that noone around
	UofT or Waterloo has anything, or heard anything.
	Double sigh !!
