FWIW guys, soldering some of these early boards is not hard. The traces are far apart on that board and the are wide and can stand quite a bit of “abuse”. Good place to tip your toes into the water before moving up to the more complicated/dense boards . On that board you can get everything from (for example) Jameco, but read the Web page about the HEX displays.

That's why I hesitated when I learned of such madness! Dropped back to one, if it works, I'll just let the person buying my other S-100 machine build his own.
But, "Let the fun begin". :eek:

Hi Ed,
That is almost a token price! Of course I'll want one, so put me on the list.
It will be fun, and quite the adventure. The whole S-100 experience still eludes me. First, an all in one board turned out to have a corrupted ROM monitor, then I obtained a bunch of useless boards, finally have a good set of CompuPro, but no working drive, (zero for four!).
Steep curve, oh, VERY! :)
This CF concept seems to be a very good solution to augment the first drive, I've CP/M86 on floppy ready to go.
No reply necessary, I'll watch for the time and method to pay, I'm subscribed.
