As if I dont know this? I have an ISBC80/10 and a BLC80204 plus several
Hurikon Multibus boards. It's a task I've done before along with
designing
for multibus. Whats the point? You set up the board to a common config
and with that write a dumb monitor for those addresses. Added t that
code is some diagnostic stuff to blink leds or toggle lines that would
otherwise do nothing to show there is a cpu and some ram operational
if it doesnt talk to the console.

I havent a clue why you said that at all since the origin of the smallc-c
