  • Circuit Specialists
    You will be given a board, on loan, that was purchased from circuit specialists. Some students like this course so much that they end up wanting to purchase their own board.

    In previous years we've used the UP-604A.

    16-bit solderless breadboard (also works on 8-bit bus). The board plugs directly into the 16-bit ISA bus slot of an IBM compatible PC. All of the AT bus signals are connected to the board. The board also has an External DB25 F connector. Starting in year 2005, the ISA breadboard is no longer necessary for this course, but you still might have fun playing with one.

    If you would like to have fun with one of these, let me know so that you can sign one out.
