The IEEE-488 interface for the ATARI ST cartridge port is now completed and tested. We have contracted a private company to manufacture and market the product. Here are the details: The IEEE-488 interface is a module fully shielded in a metal box measuring about 4.6x3.6x1.1 inches. It connects to the cartridge port of the Atari ST and provides full talk/listen/control capability to the IEEE-488 bus through a standard 24-pin connector. It allows the ST to be used as a low-cost programmable controller or data logger for IEEE-488 instruments in applications NOT requiring a hardware interrupt facility. Software supplied with the module includes sample driver programs written in TDI Modula-2 and GFA-Basic to send and receive character strings to and from instruments on the bus. Price Canadian $ 478 (module and software) package and shipping(air mail) Canada $10 USA $15 For more information and/or ordering please contact: VIVITRO Systems INC 1900 Fort St. Victoria, BC Canada V8R 1J8 Tel.

**** This is a re-posting of a message that was lost over Christmas *** Last summer I announced that we were developing an IEEE-488 cartridge interface for the ST. The interface has now been completed and tested. We have contracted a private company to manufacture and market the product. Here are the details: The IEEE-488 interface is a module fully shielded in a metal box measuring about 4.6x3.6x1.1 inches. It connects to the cartridge port of the Atari ST and provides full talk/listen/control capability to the IEEE-488 bus through a standard 24-pin connector. It allows the ST to be used as a low-cost programmable controller or data logger for IEEE-488 instruments in applications NOT requiring a hardware interrupt facility. Software supplied with the module includes a driver program that can be called by a number of languages (eg. TDI Modula-2, GFA Basic,C,etc..)
