Help Identifying OHIO 610 Addon Board

Post by nauseous »

Hi All,

I picked up an Ohio 610 memory expansion board. It came with the following PCB attached to PB0 and PB1 on the PIA chip. Would anyone know more about what this might do? It's labelled "VK2RT".

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Fancy seeing you here 🙂

The “VK2RT” logo plus the ls123 one-shots makes me inclined to think that the circuit is used to automatically key a transmitter and create fixed length “dits” and “dahs” when sending/receiving Morse code.

The superboard 2 was pretty popular with HAM operators at the time here in Oz, including myself.
I used mine for RTTY and slow scan tv around ‘79.

Cheers,
Leslie
