We have contracted a private company to manufacture and market the product. Here are the details: The IEEE-488 interface is a module fully shielded in a metal box measuring about 4.6x3.6x1.1 inches. It connects to the cartridge port of the Atari ST and provides full talk/listen/control capability to the IEEE-488 bus through a standard 24-pin connector. It allows the ST to be used as a low-cost programmable controller or data logger for IEEE-488 instruments in applications NOT requiring a hardware interrupt facility. Software supplied with the module includes sample driver programs written in TDI Modula-2 and GFA-Basic to send and receive character strings to and from instruments on the bus.
