INTERFACING COMPUTERS
Q. What is a MacDonald computer interface?
A. Dr. Jerome F. MacDonald is the senior member of a design team that has long been working in the Dairy Science Division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They have come up with a communications input/output (I/O) and interchange code for computers, terminals, and real-world inputs. The coding is simple, effective, and easy to use. It's spreading rapidly to other government agencies and now is becoming an industry-wide standard. in fact, the code already has an Electronic Industries Evaluationary (EIE) status. Thus, the old MacDonald farm interface is now an EIE I/O.
Too funny
