From the project
LAIR Pro -- Logic Analyzer Interface for RC-2014 Pro Bus
LAIR is an interface that makes it easy to connect a logic analyzer to the backplane bus of a RC-2014 Z80-based retro computer. The logic analyzer can capture all activity on the bus and make it available for analysis, without changing the behavior or timing of the RC-2014 system in any way.
The LAIR module plugs into the RC-2014 Backplane Pro, which includes the standard RC-2014 bus and the enhanced RC-2014 bus. It connects all the pins that are present on the Backplane Pro circuit board. All these pins are also brought out to a second set of pins to make it easy to probe the bus.
