[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Request information on PD I/O board

clemon@lemsys.UUCP (Craig Lemon) (03/18/91)

	What is this PD I/O board that we're hearing a lot about lately? 
Is it a second parallel port or serial port?  Or both?  Is it really PD? 
ie. can somebody scan any picture (schematics, artwork) and upload
instructions to ab20 or something or do we have to buy he Mag. it's from? 
(assuming it is from a magazine).

4 serial and 4 parallel (maximum).

All information is on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov in /incoming/amiga/ioexpansion.lzh.
 It was published in the February Amazing Computing. If you can find a copy of
the issue, it would be wise to buy it to get a nice hardcopy (and it's good
relief from AmigaWorld fluff).

In Europe the information may be FTP'ed from nic.funet.fi (/pub/new/SerialEx.dm
s).

The info is in the Amazing Amiga magazine of Feb, 1991. The best thing would
just be to buy or borrow the article. It is a waste of space here on the net
to upload all the docs and pics for an article that is so recent (in my
opinion).
