I rebuilt my ribbon controller interface (using the “lite” version of my [dac/ino‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ board](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/ao-dac-ino/1035)) and wrote new software for it.

I’m happier about the interface hardware, since the old one was the first electronics I’d built in several years and was a rather messy protoboard thing, and I’m a lot happier about the software, which is very much simpler and better organized than the code I’d been using.
