Introducing the Experimentor’s Universal Input/Output Port

Some of you may remember that a LONG time ago, I said I wanted to offer a simple parallel port and use it as the basis of a series of programs designed to show computer hobbyists the what’s, why’s and wherefore’s of “Programming for Ports”. My plan was (and still is) to provide many interesting applications centering around this I/O port, and then through the documentation, explain how the program works so that you can glean information on programming techniques you can use in your own programs. After many months of design work, by both myself and John Oliger whom I contracted with to manufacture the port boards, as well as considerable time writing the first few applications, I am happy to say the product is ready to be launched.
