Hi All,

I'm considering getting an N8VEM 68000 board.

I assume that the mini-M68000 ECB board is not a stand-alone board.

If that is the case, what would be considered the minimum requirements to make a usable computer using this board?

Regards, Bob Devries

The ECB mini-M68K board requires the presence of the ECB
Multifunction/PIC board to handle basic I/O operations:&nbsp; RTC/nvRAM,
Serial I/O (terminal), and parallel I/O -- usually to a PPIDE
interface.<br>
<br>
The ROM-BIOS requires the NS32202 interrupt controller, which comes
with the MF/PIC board.&nbsp; The BIOS is interrupt driven.&nbsp; CP/M-68 is
supported with this 2-board combination.<br>
