The IMSAI SIO 2 Rev-3 is a faithful reproduction of the 1975 SIO USART board.
The SIO 2 is available in a one-port (SIO 2-1) or a two-port (SIO 2-2) configuration.
Each port is a complete synchronous/asynchronous USART (8251A) with TTL, RS-232, and current loop interfaces.
A port expansion kit is available to convert an SIO 2-1 to an SIO 2-2.
When built to the instructions in the new User Manual,
the SIO 2 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1975 IMSAI SIO 2 Rev-3.
Order from the list below. The kits are complete with everything you need except solder and tools.
