  The CPU card is a BCC52 BASIC computer controller made by MicroMint. It
has an 8085 AH BASIC CPU on it. I'm familar with these, the Steve Ciarcia
EPROM programmer that I had used one. They run basic and you can place your
program in EPROM and it will run it. But you can also abort the program and
execute BASIC statements directly.

  Wait! hold on. I just did a quick Google search and found this
<http://www.micromint.com/BCC/bcc52.htm>. It looks like MicroMint is still
making it. The price is $269! Hot Dam! I paid $1 for the whole thing!

   The I/O card is a MicroMint AC/DC I/O card. I do need to find out what
kind of relays or drivers it uses. I remember seeing relays with pin
arrangements that looked like the sockets on this card. I think they were
made by Opto-22 or some name like that.

   I couldn't find this card on Micrommint's site. The closest thing i
could find was this <http://www.micromint.com/rtc/rtc_opto.htm> It's not a
Std-bus card and it doesn't have the terminal strip on the other end but it
has eight channels and does use the relays like the ones that I THINK are
supposed to be on this one.

   If anyone has info or manuals for these cards I'd appreciate a copy.
