It was for this very purpose that we designed the Twin-X general purpose input/output board for the Amiga. Twin-X is a host for any two industry standard iSBX modules. It (Twin-X) makes the iSBX modules appear to be standard auto-configuring boards for the A2000. One Twin-X will accomodate up to 2 modules. Modules sometimes require trivial amounts of programming. For instance, one of the A to D conversion modules we've tried (there are many) required two dozen lines of actual C code (not counting comments and included header files) to control. A AC/DC relay module needed even less. Access speeds are limited only by Amiga bus speeds. Many A-D, D-A, and Parallel/Digital-IO modules exist. We, ourselves, provide a GPIB module as wel as a dual serial port module. We can be reached at (608) 273 6585. -- Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc. ``We look for things. Things that make us go.''
