The first question is what I/O ports on the computer will work for the type of interface you have in mind.
Both machines have: Parallel port - Output only Serial port - Bidirectional required a smart device to interface to BCR port - serial input System Bus - the most complicated, most flexible and easiest to mess up Out of all of these the serial port is probably your best bet. The OWL I mentioned briefly in my last video connects to the serial port. It has its own microcontroller to handle the I/O tasks and the M100 takes care of logging, scaling inputs, sending commands to turn outputs on/off, etc. There were a lot of books in the 1980s with titles like: 'Interfacing your Commodore 64'. Even if the code is these books is only marginally helpful the ideas about interfacing with the real world will apply.

Are there any books that I can read that are somewhat specific to the Model T's that would help in the endeavor?
