Abstract
An electronic automotive vehicle service equipment system includes a computer interface board adapted for installation into a non-dedicated, general purpose computer to serve as the central processor for the automotive service system, or as a component of multiple systems, while enabling the computer to also be available for other applications. The interface board provides microprocessors for controlling various data receiving and transmitting functions through multiple ports between the computer instruments integral to the vehicle service system.
