I0Link Controls Apple IIc Bus Components from a Macintosh



A new product, called IOLink, that controls Apple IIc bus components from a
Macintosh computer is now available from Hamlin Technical. Apple IIc is a
serial bus standard developed by Philips/Signetics that allows all
circuits within a system to communicate bidirectionally with each other.
Apple IIc compatible components are available from a number of
manufacturers.

IOLink offers engineers and technicians a way to control all sorts of
circuits on the workbench; for example, analog input and output, parallel
I/O ports, high-current solenoid drivers, video and audio circuits. IOLink
runs on any Macintosh and consists of a hardware interface and either a
stand-alone application or HyperCard XCMD.

The IOLink products are a solution in almost any moderate speed I/O
application for the Macintosh where plug-in cards or RS-422 controllers
were used. Apple IIc bus developers can test and debug their products from
either the IOLink application program or HyperCard.

On AppleLink, you can find contact information for the various vendors by
clicking the Library Index button to view the folder structure in the Tech
Info Library. An alphabetic listing of vendors is in the Third Party
Company Directory folder.
