Other key parts include the 68000D. By type, the board carries 4 connectors and 1 IC.

It belongs with the test & measurement and retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

Motorola 68000 sniffer probe (DIP) for use with HP 16700 logic analysers.

M68000 DIP sniffer probe for use with HP 16700 series logic analysers

Wiring is as per the HP E2447A sniffer probe, but altered for DIP instead of PGA pinout.

Requires four off 20pin IDC headers to mate with four HP 01650-63203 transition adapters. These then connect to the LA's woven pod cables.

* CAUTION - BUG! * You will need to mount the two outside headers (in the row of three) at a slight angle, otherwise the rivets which hold the adapters together will stop you from plugging them all in.
