Can't help with the manuals, sorry, but I have one of those boards -
it was in an Apple //e I recently acquired, so have been looking for
details on it myself.

From what I've found it's a 2-part system. Internal digital board
and external analog unit providing both DAC and ADC units also
with an RTC on-board. (socket for external battery pack) It came
with "Labsoft BASIC" which I guess has some extensions on applesoft
to help with the data handling.

I only have the board to plug into an Apple, not the external
parts.

There's no ROM on-board but I could probably work out of the 6522
is working by probing the slot addresses - might make a handy 6522
interface if nothing else.

I remember that. Its a multi-channel analog to digitial converter. And a digitial to analog converter. It's a control unit that contorlled servos and other things that your could hook up to it. The Apple 2 controlled lab equeptment through that Box. The software that was used to control it was Labsoft BASIC. If you found labsoft BASIC you probably could control stuff with it. Let me know if you want to know more I'll see if the Lab has any documents left....

I found that at VCED not much to go on, except for the LABbasic, this guy didn't have any manuals for it though.

I would love to get my hands on the software, any chance they would make a copy ?
