From top to bottom: NMI is used with T1 for realtime clock & calendar plus Abort key circuit (shown at the bottom); then
there's a synchronous-serial port, beeper, I²C, printer, LCD, keypad, and Abort circuit:
front panel layout:
The round A/D and D/A connectors are 3.5mm 3-conductor jacks.
The four larger annunciator LEDs here are turned on and off by software, so you can use them to monitor where you are in
a program. In Forth, you can use lines like
TURN ON #2 LED
or
TURN OFF #4 LED
where TURN is a variable, ON sets it to $FFFF
and OFF clears it, #2 and #4 are
the names of constants made to be 2 and 4, and LED turns the named LED on or off according to
what's in variable TURN. The #4 LED feed is also brought out to one of the oscilloscope
probe points on the front so you can use it to trigger a sweep as you watch another circuit, or just watch something
that's too fast to see flashing.

PC keyboard and Dallas Semiconductor's (Dallas in now part of Maxim) 1-Wire interface:
I should have put a DIP switch on one of the 138's E inputs so an
uninitialized VIA3PB doesn't enable anything, and S7 (switch 7) should optionally disable IRQs by shorting D4-A to ground.

regulator circuit:
The .25" 3-conductor phone jack for power was not a very good choice. I'm not sure what the best would be; but there are a lot of things that need a higher plus and minus voltage (rather than just +5V or +3.3V), so unless you convert the voltage on the board itself with switching regulators, I still suggest using a plus and minus input, like ±10V. The exact voltage is not critical at all for most things. I use it to power:
