Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a question
regarding the 6.270 boards, and their use away from
MIT's computing facilities.

As many of the readers of this group already know,
the 6.270 boardset is designed to talk specifically
to MIT's VAX machines, which enables the 6811 to be
programmed, etc.

My question:  is there a simple modification that will
enable the 6811 to be easily programmed from a PC, 
or something similar to this?  In
other words, to allow programming the 6811 from a machine
other than those accessible to students of the 6.270
course at MIT.

Again, please forgive me if this is FAQ material, but
I've been reading the FAQ, and didn't see anything
about this.

Post or e-mail; I'll summarize if it looks like others
would benefit from responses.
