The board used a block of 8 contiguous
port addresses. CompuPro software defaulted to 10H to 17H. The block itself was
switch selectable.
Each user had their own "channel" via the base port to communicate with
the board. More than 8 users could also be connected if multiple boards
were used. The board was designed to work with a fast CPU by optionally
adding two bus cycle wait states. The board had an elaborate interrupt
capability as well. It utilized eight 2651 UART's. From a programming
prospective each "user" had exclusive access to one. Fortunately CompuPro
provide software interface examples in their manual.
