2.23 Where can I find information about projects?
Hilary D. Jones, Building a Computer from Scratch, BYTE, Nov. 1977.
Ingo Cyliax from Indiana University made a good project wich mixes a 68030 and a VGA card on a ISA bus. Schematics and info are at: http://www.cs.indiana.edu/hyplan/cyliax/ws030.html
A free MC68K hardware/software design is available (they also sell the computers complete) For further information send mail to walter@mct.mct.de
Z80 project: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~donmck/z80.html
Instructions for building an 8051 sbc may be found at: http://www.ece.orst.edu/~paul/8051-goodies/goodies-index.html

There are schematics and other info of 8255 based 84 line I/O card for PC ISA bus at http://www.cs.tut.fi/~pam
There is an ASCII schematic of an ISA parallel port adapter card at ftp://ftp.armory.com:/pub/user/rstevew/LPT/ filenames lptskmtc.asc/.unx/.wid
PCIO and PCUC projects (ISA interface) http://home.t-online.de/home/akugel/projects.htm More detailed info and schematics are on the German page http://home.t-online.de/home/akugel/projekte.htm
Parralel port ide interface: http://www.edu.lahti.fi/~memon/projects.html Texts of the circuit are in Finnish and there was no driver when last checked.
There is a zip-file with schematics and PCB-layout for a parallel port IDE interface at http://www.edu.lahti.fi/~memon/projects.html.
http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html - It's a linux driver site, but has a lot of technical info about 20 or so different implementations of the LPT to IDE hack
D-BOX, is an 8031 based device which controls up to 8 SONY LANC devices, and provides a simple ASCII command set to the computer via standard serial port. There is some information on the LANC commands etc. in the documentation. http://www.dunfield.com Look for DBOXKIT.ZIP in the file area
ISA "backplane" box: "Interfacing to the IBM Personal Computer" second edition by Lewis C. Eggebrecht. Chapter 9 goes over two designs, one for a four slot expansion of up to three feet and the other is for a ten slot expansion of up to eight feet.
