All, I am still thinking in my head about the best way to update the ECB Bus Monitor board for 24-bit addresses and 16-bit data. I did a schematic update to add the extra lines while keeping everything else the same. Several additional 7400 series ICs need to be fit on the board to do this "simple" update.
I had a lot of fancy ideas for character displays and TFT LCDs such, but upon reflection the update speed of all of those things is pretty limited which I think might decrease the usefulness of the bus monitor. So I'm kind of setting that aside for now, in favor of the simpler update. Also this is the first board revision I've tried to do on my own. What are peoples thoughts about going to SIP switches and SIP LED bars on a revision of the Bus Monitor? This would free up space for the additional ICs needed to handle the extra channels.
