Worked for a company that did something similar in 1985. using S100 based computer to control a machine. Used a parallel port (Printer port)send a binary word To the port ie 10001101. each 1 on the output turned on a device, each 0 turned off. Easy to implement, worked great.

This is a great idea. If I ever get the time, I’m gonna hook up something like this on 5/12Vdc for all my extra case fans and lights and stuff.
