  IIRC the 80/24 is upwards compatible with the 80/20 and 80/20-4. I have
the last two on my website but never got around to addign the 80/24. The
80/24 has a 8085A-2 CPU that operates at 4.8 or 2.4 KHz, It has 8K of
static RAM and socklets for up to 32K or PROM, 48 programmble I/O lines
with interchangeable drivers/terminators, programmble async o sync RS-232
serial interface, two Multiomode sockets, two programmable 16 BCD or binary
timers/coujnters and can act as a controller in a multiple controller
system.  I MAY have the manual for it. I'll try to take a look when I can.

  Never seen the Microdesigns RTC boards but I have bunch from Linear
Systems and I have the manuals :-)

   They are but they have aLOT of jumpers that have to be properly set to
get them working.

   Great. I'll add them to my Multibus page. I don't have any Microdesigns
boards or the 80/24 up there yet.
