For $499.95 you get a device that plugs into a game port (either one) and interfaces the A500/1000/2000 to a bank of lights and switches. When ordering, specify PDP 11/45 or the more powerful IMSAI 8080. -- Who are these ones that would lead us now ? richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {backbone}!gryphon!richard
