I need to hook several homebrew parallel devices
up to my Sun 3/50 (2 serial ports only).  What
I would like would be a small, easily programmable
thingy that would perform low-speed transfers
to and from several parallel ports and communicate
with the Sun through the serial port.

Clearly, some kind of small PC with a bunch of
parallel ports would do the trick.  I need one
that has enough ports (32 bits), is cheap, and
is easily programmable.

Any ideas?  Send mail to:  br@wucs1.wustl.edu
