Now that the Renard64 is on it's way into our displays, here is the coop pcb, Ren-T. I have posted all the files needed if home etching is an option for you. If not, then you can get them from this coop.

The parts list, assembly, ect., ect. is here.....

Also, the Radio Shack transformer SKU# 273-1365 is a nice part for this application.

Could this be used for Ren16 (XMUS) as well?
The way I understand it, this board lets you run a single serial port super fast, and then it slows down the serial to the 4 output serial ports?
Hope I'm not way off base.

If the above statement is true, I'll take some.

ok, I couldn't grasp that. LOL but... the Ren-T usage for the Ren16 would be the RS232 conversion to RS485 setup. This would allow the Ren16 greater distance (over 100') away from the show PC.

Then i must have this confused with that other board that is a serial in and 4 serial out design...

I know now what you are referring to... That is LRNeener's board he is working on. Contact him on his progress. :wink:
