A computer without an I/O (input/output) facility may be compared with a telephone without a receiver: it probably works all right, but you cannot tell. In the same way, a computer can only be used properly when it can be connected to external equipment or networks.

And yet, the usefulness of a micro depends primarily on the facility for using peripheral equipment. In many cases, the I/O facility is severely restricted and this acts as a brake to the inventiveness of many computer users. This void may be filled with the proposed universal I/O bus. The wo...
