While I've only been working with the Handy Board for a week or so, I would also like to see several more outputs added. Perhaps some combination such as 8 digital (CMOS) outputs, and 8 of the dual-transistor types. If you could rig it up with (...) (28 years ago, 8-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
