Notes

The Micro Innovations Multi-Interface Board version 3 — the single most influential ADAM interface card. On one board it provides a boot-PROM socket, two RS-232 serial ports, a Centronics parallel printer port, and the memory-expander "addressor" signal that RAM cards over 64K depend on.

Original MIB3 boards are now extremely difficult to find, which is precisely why modern recreations such as the MIB238 (including the Lundy and Brewing Academy versions elsewhere on this page) were created to take its place. Installs in expansion slot #2.
