Just a bot of history on the origin of this board.

My initial intent was to reproduce an IMSAI front panel board
for my missing one. Many, many moons ago I shipped it out for repair and
it got lost in shipping. Watched eBay for years and no front panel
boards (CPA) ever showed up.

Once this FPMini board get's finalized I planned on producing a full size IMSAI CPA board.
With all the lessons learned and great suggestions, plus with the added board real estate
I believe we can produce a superior IMSAI front panel replacement.

Remember guy’s this is for an IMSAI and early S100 boards. It will not work with IEEE-696 boards that for example RAM boards that utilize the full 24 bit address lines.

Also since it’s hard wired with LS123’s it will be bus clock speed sensitive.  Don, how fast have you gone with it.

 

Should be a nice addition to Josh’s 8080 board for example

Should work on 8080 and Z80

What CPUs will this work with?  8080?  Z80?

Were getting ready to order what may be the final revision of the S-100 Mini Front Panel Board (AKA FPMini).

I'd like to get an idea how many builders are interested in obtaining this board.
If your interested please email me your request with desired quantity.
I'm hoping to keep the board in the $25 range.
