I'm building a Turbo XT-compatible PC centered around the Xi 8088 kit and a basic ISA backplane. I'd really like to have an LED on my front panel for BUS activity, but I don't have any ISA slots remaining to plug in a POST card and tap off of that so I'm looking for an easy way to tap a pin or two on the bus directly (via the underside of the backplane) or to make a simple circuit along those lines that drives an LED to flicker when there's BUS activity.
It's for show so I don't care exactly what it's actually monitoring as long as it'll flicker when there's activity on the ISA BUS.
Suggestions please?
