    Description

    This is a little collection of test instruments & jumpers used on the early H8 and H89 H100 computers and related cables between peripherals.
    The traffic Cop allows switching of cable signal routing
    The Baud Rate analyzer was to check that data was passing correctly to peripherals such as printers.
    The jumper board allowed testing of switched cable wiring order by manually changing the jumper wires on input and output sides before making the actual wire between connectors. If you are old enough you will remamber the frustration of how manufacturers routed signals on flat and multi-wire cables.
    The Async adapter is self explanatory.
    Selling all as one lot.  Ideal addition for anyone collecting older computers from back in the hard-wire and full size PC board era.
