You left out one of those 'double uu' things in your site address. :-)
Went off to see how your monitor operates.

I would think all you would need to do is put one of your monitor chips
in the appropriate SimmStick micro board, and you could exercise the I/O
functions of the circuit under test. The SimmStick mother board will
take care of power and RS-232, unless of course these features are
installed on the SimmStick target board, which can be done on the DT106
board.

As the DT106 board caters for both 28 and 40 pin devices, the larger
only need to be fitted for all applications. One size fits all.

So it looks like a direct fit, and could be used on any I/O that uses
the Simm bus concept. (including atmel, scenix)
Or have I read it wrong?

BTW, my site is back, a backbone somewhere in Baltimore.
