There have been several inquiries in this group for info on Nubus
prototyping boards for the Mac II. I recently received some literature on
a new product in that category. It is called MacProto, and it is made by:
Adex Corporation
105 Albright Way
Los Gatos, CA 95030
(408) 866-2077
Unlike the proto board announced by Vector, this one comes with Nubus
interfacing logic and a "Slot Declaration ROM." The logic is set up for
Nubus slave operation. There are two 32-bit latching registers: one for
address and one for data. The board allows 8, 16 or 32-bit wide data
transfers. There is also an addressable 8-bit read/write "user" register.
From the photograph, it looks like the interfacing chips take up about
half of the board space. The remainder of the board is the prototyping
area, and appears to be drilled for wirewrap sockets (0.1" spacing,
plated-through holes).
MacProto comes with a user manual and a disk containing C-source and
sample programs showing how to read to and write from the board. Price is
$299.95.
