MICROLOG folder now included in the Vintage Repository - ChickenMan - 31-03-2026
Thanks to GrahamL for proving scans of all these Brochures, ROMs, pictures, etc.
Microlog Controls Pty Ltd were designers and manufactures, in South Australia, of MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEMS, PROM PROGRAMMERS and STD BUS PRODUCTS. They were well known for their Little Video Board.
The LITTLE VIDEO BOARD (LVB) is designed to be the main component of a flexible VIDEO DISPLAY UNIT (VDU). The control sequences emulate the basic operation of the industry standard TELEVIDEO 910/912 terminal. The board requires an ASCII encoded parallel keyboard and either a modified television receiver or a high quality monitor to complete the system configuration.
The LVB is capable of operating at all standard baud rates up to 19.2Kbd. The data transmission characteristics such as stop bits, parity, data word length and baud rate are set by a DIL switch.
Searching the internet for Microlog Controls revealed very little information. I found a mention on Trove in the Commonwealth Australia Gazette of them selling some IBM XT software in 1986.
So in the Vintage repository in the new Microlog folder we placed
