A practical course in microcomputer interfacing is described, based upon the Macintosh II graphics workstation and the Modula 2 programming language. The advantages of this approach over the traditional approach using a simple 8-bit microcomputer and assembler are discussed. Outlines of nine experiments are included together with brief descriptions of the hardware necessary to support the course.
