Unless I am mistaken it was NEIL Morison who wanted to be 
able to use one of these cheap($10) PC type multifunction 
cards with a coco. I then offered to design an ISA bus 
interface so that he and others could do so. I also have some 
of these and Neil stated that he could get them locally. As 
you know old 8-bit PC stuff is getting to be dirt cheap. 
Sometimes you cant even give away old PC/XT stuff. Since they 
are so cheap and available why not use them. All we need to 
do so is an ISA bus interface But because there are so many 
different cards made by different manufacturers we need to 
find out a general consensus as to what "ports" to use for 
what device. If you have any documentation for the card you 
have please let me know the port assignments.
