We describe the hardware and software of a general‐purpose interface that permits a personal computer (PC) running MS‐DOS to control cytometric devices, e.g., a scanning stage, shutters, and focus motor attached to a microscope. This note explains how to use the interface to convert the ZONAX microscope attachment controller from 8080‐based hardware control to PC‐based control.
