Cumana EMU 

Cumana EMU

The Cumana EMU is similar to products from Commotion and HCCS which address the limited expandability of the A3000, A3010, A3020 and A4000, with a carrier board with functional micro podules. In this case the micro podule is a BBC User port.

The Cumana EMU consists of a base unit (at the bottom of the picture) and upto 3 micro podules attached to the podule backplate (at top of picture). I only have a BBC User port micro-podule plugged in to this unit. While this is the only Cumana micro-podule I have seen, it it similar to the HCCS Ultimate podule range which has a selection of micro-podules to plug into the base unit. The sockets are the 3 vertial connectors on the base unit
