I purchased some surplus STD BUS development systems from the company I work for a couple of years ago. Included, among other things, are a Z-80 CPU board, 2 Serial interface ports, 2 parallel ports, and several memory boards which can contain EPROMS or SRAMS. I think these units could readily used as a terminal node controller for packet radio. I know that several of these units were purchased by members of AMRAD and am wandering if anyone has already written the software to accomplish this. If not is there anyone that could provide me any guidance. I understand that the TAPR TNC-2 uses a Z-80 and was wandering if the software for this unit, if available, could be modified to operate with this system.
