Custom Debug LEDs?

[Cheapskate01]

I'm building a testbench for new hardware and wondered if there was anything many motherboards used to push debug codes, like an output or something that I could hook my own LED controller up to. I want to hook up some Nixie tubes up to the bench and look at the debug codes through them, but if theres no pins or anything to hook up to the motherboard, I guess I won't be able to.

There are cards like this -- https://www.amazon.com/Mini-PCI-LPC-Analyzer-Tester/dp/B00M3Z8T12 for motherboards without debug LEDs. You could use one of them and convert the LED driver to a NIXIE driver.

Thank you! This should help out with that process quite a bit. Now I just have to find alphanumeric or hexadecimal nixies.
