Juice(TM) I/O Cross-Extender Board

Juice(TM) - Cross-Extender between the ISA bus and the PC/104 bus, to allow testing of PC/104 bus boards in a conventional PC. This is an entirely passive board, with no components other than the connectors required. The Juice board is used by plugging it into a PC, and then plugging the PC/104 board into the Juice board. Because the Juice board has the full pin and socket connector, the PC/104 board or boards under test may be plugged into either the front or back of the Juice Board.

The Juice Programmable I/O Board was designed with Eagle 4.03, on the GNU/Linux operating system. The same CAD files will work with the Wxx version of Eagle. See the Links page for further information concerning Eagle.

NOTE: to unpack the Eagle file in Linux, make a grits directory, copy the grits.tar.gz file into it, and then invoke tar xvzf juice.tar.gz

This will unpack the entire set of CAD and manufacturing files in the grits directory.
