ORDINATOR temporary serial I/O board

temporary serial I/O board

The temporary serial I/O board of the ORDINATOR provides two RS232 I/O ports and an interface to a standard cassette player. Although intended for serial I/O, the board does not contain any kind of UART; instead software must be used to perform that function.

This board was the first outside world interface of the ORDINATOR, and for months its cassette port provided the only way to load and save programs.

The ORDINATOR temporary serial I/O board has fallen out of use and is currently only supported by DIAMOND.
