Abstract
An inexpensive interface designed for IBM PC/XTs or compatibles, potentially useful for controlling behavioral/neural experiments, is presented. Descriptions of basic machine language routines for the control of input/output functions, timing, and data acquisition by the interface are provided. Also, a brief description of available Forth routines for controlling the delivery of stimuli and the acquisition of behavioral/neural data during classical conditioning experiments is presented.
