GeekPort
The GeekPort is a 37-pin general-purpose interface on the rear of the BeBox workstation, providing digital and analog I/O that allowed developers to connect self-built peripherals. It was a rare maker-friendly design in the 1990s.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The GeekPort is a 37-pin general-purpose interface on the back of the BeBox, providing 16 digital I/O channels, 4 analog inputs, and 4 analog outputs, and can be directly connected to an external power supply.
The BeBox emulator is a form of behavior-level preservation; it does not preserve the BeBox's circuit diagrams or firmware images, but instead encodes hardware interaction behaviors such as GeekPort pin responses and LED state changes into software modules that can be reproduced on modern systems.
