Any that work and you can find all the adapters and manuals for. The one I
miss the most was the one I used to have builtinto a Apple II. One of the
engineers where I worked drew up a simple design using a couple 8 bit dacs
with opamps to 10x the voltage for the pins that needed it, and the rest I
think was 6522 io lines. I wrote the software and stole the scream out of
CastleWolfenstein and played it when you pressed the "burn" button. I
patched the assembler and kind of integrated them together so that with
just a few keystrokes you could do an assembly and burn to eprom, including
printing a nice label.

Right now I have a Data I/O something, model 2902?, but haven't played with
it yet. I have a couple of the modules, but no manuals.
