MacDonald Interface

Dr. Jerome F. MacDonald is the senior member of a design team that has long been working in the Dairy Science division of the US Department of Agriculture.

They have come up with a communications input-output (I /O) and interchange code for computers and terminals. The coding is simple, effective, and easy to use. It?s now spreading rapidly to to other government agencies and now is becoming an industry wide standard.

In fact, the code now has an Electronics Industries Evaluationary (EIE) status and should shortly go international.

Thus, the old MacDonald farm interface is now an EIE I/O.

I always thought that the E.I.E.I.O. was the farmer's union.

No, it's a PowerPC instruction (Enforce Inorder Execution of I/O)
