Add MASTER I/O Versions #23

@eclab

Description

@eclab

The Master I/O page needs discussion of its various versions. Below is what I know about them, but it is incomplete in several places:

  • I do not know if R3 had the adjustable trimpot or not (Robert, bring the trimpot back!)
  • I know that somewhere in the R2 or R3 timeframe there were significant changes internally to the CPU design
  • I do not know when the EURORACK header was added
  • If I recall correctly, the additional power header was removed in R4? Maybe R3? But Robert offered to solder one on for me.

Here's what I'd add (hopefully agumented with answers to the stuff above).
