     Can anyone tell me anything about a board I just acquired?  It's
a Morrow Designs MULT/IO S-100 board.  It has:

        1) 3 8250's
        2) 1 8259 interrupt controller
        3) 2k of static RAM
        4) a funny connector that I was told is a parallel port, although
           I don't see how ( a 50-pinner... looks like an 8" drive port )

     I know the board supports extended addressing for the memory on
it, but beyond that I haven't experimented ( missing a 25LS2521 for
the port selection ).

     It sounds a *lot* like my CompuPro System Support 1, except of
course for the fact that the Morrow board doesn't include a clock.

     Does anyone use this beast?  I'd like to get it working... three
more serial ports would be VERY useful right now... as would a
Centronics port, if that's what this 50-pin connector is.

     Thanks.
