Hi:
My K2x has been updated by me using the Emerald Microware system using a WD1002
-05G  REV. Y

My schematic & everything I have that's hardware docs says my "parallel"
interface is a SASI interface.  Maybe we're just talking semantics here, but
It's nice to know what the extra ports are on the 1002!  Do you know where I
can obtain specs on the WD1002-05g?  I would like to get more familiar with
all of it. . .

See ya:
