Hi,
I was recently over a friend's house, and saw this ICD
Multi I/O board/box. It's for sale, but he doesn't know
anything about it. It appears to take the output of a
host adapter, and drive a hard drive, floppy drive, RS232,
Centronics parallel, and VIDEO? (on a db9?)...
He said "make me an offer...", but I have NO IDEA about this
device, and I assume it needs some driver software to operate.
ANY/ALL information is appreciated!

| 1141.1 | MIO <> 8bit | QARRY::BHAMILTON | Buzz Hamilton | Fri Jun 14 1991 10:16 | 9 |
The ICD MIO is for the 8bit Atari.
It came (comes?) in two flavors: 256K and 1Meg. It has it's own power
supply and allows booting from RAM. I had one and it's a neat box for
the 8bit world. The Video was supposed to be ICD's version of the 80
column interface - it never happened. Production was suspended for
awhile due to memory prices. It might be considered somewhat valuable
(if you can find the right buyer!)

Hi Buzz,
I think you are describing a different animal!
This thing (box) is labeled "ICD Multi I/O", and runs to
what looks like the ICD controller board.
There's input for a power supply (PC TYPE) on the
bare board, and Y's to 4 more identical power plugs.
to the boxa 34 pin and 20 pin
edge card connector (for a hard drive), two floppy ports,
and seems to take input from a 50 pin connector, the same as
what comes out of host adapter...

Hi,
I forgot to mention that the box has a power input that
looks like the standard 9/12 volt music equipment type
power supply. The type that has an inner ring, and outer
ring...

| 1141.4 | Why not call ICD? | AIDEV::HUTCHINSON | Hutch | Fri Jun 14 1991 12:48 | 6 |
John, If you are still in a quandry as to what this goodie is, why not call ICD and ask 'em? I've got their phone number at home which I could relay to you. Hutch | |||||

I'm tellin' ya John - it's an 8bit Atari device.
The box has connectors and support for a SCSI drive, parallel printer,
and serial port. See note 114 in ASG3::ATARI8.
