Where did this get to as there is some discussion on another list about a similar need and so they should consider the thinking done here already before reinventing the wheel. Can anyone post any docs that may exist?

It is going back a few years, and I'm sure there was a lot of discussion at the time. http://members.optushome.com.au/dontronics4/simmstick_old_messages/ also contains some old SimmStick group messages. A random look through these didn't find anything.

That's what we are moving to in future. If you do want a Simm72 bus, the most :standard: one I know of is the one used by TINI, TStik and SNAP: http://www.tstik.com/signal_description.html Our TILT400 board has this socket plus a SimmStick socket: http://www.tstik.com/socket.html yes, the sockets are on a tilt because that was the only way to fit them on a standard 100x100 Euroboard... We can easily still get Simm30 and Simm72 from several vendors.
