====== Pangolin QuadMod32 ======

{{ :pangolin_quadmod_32.jpg?400 |}}

The Pangolin QuadMod32 was an advanced hardware output add-on
board for the IBM PC series of computers. It featured an on-board
Motorola processor along with dedicated memory. The laser show 
was moved into the board where the show was then played back 
directly from the board. This allowed the host PC to crash or 
"lock up" during playback and the show to continue.

The QuadMod32 uses a 16-bit ISA connector to communicate with the host PC,
and uses a 50 pin male ribbon cable connector on the card edge. The breakout
cable leads to two DB-25 connectors, one is for X/Y and color signals for 
laser projector and the other is for TTL type outputs for effects control. 

The memory is 30 pin SIMM style DRAM, standard in it's era and commonly available.

Note - The DB25 is not ILDA standard, it is similar to that of the QuadMod16 
board for the Amiga. This board likely pre-dates the ILDA standard.

The board was used with Pangolin Lasershow Designer and I believe 
an early version of another program called ShowTime.
