   Wow, somebody needs both an "email 101" and "how to set up an iPhone 
101" at the same time. ;)

   A CXY08 is an eight-port multiplexer.  Of course it doesn't 
"multiplex" much of anything, but that's what they've always been 
called.  It's eight serial ports on a board.

   As for what it's "good for", well, for connecting up to eight 
serially-interfaced things to a PDP-11 or VAX.
