CBM IEC Bus Question
Re: CBM IEC Bus Question
There are likely commercial products that can record and analyze logic levels. But I've seen people use microcontrollers to do that as well. Pretty much any modern microcontroller is a speed demon compared to the IEC bus. So sampling bus states and serializing to a PC for analysis should be straight forward.
Re: CBM IEC Bus Question
For IEC, even the parallel port of a PC can do the job (that is, if you still have one).
I had written a small program for this many, many years ago (https://spiro.trikaliotis.net/pposc) which I used for OpenCBM debugging. This program must run on plain DOS, no DOS extended, no virtual 8086 mode.
