Re: S-100 8086 Up and Runing

[lynchaj <lyn...@yahoo.com>]

Thank you very much Leon!  This is truly wonderful!  This is like a
dream come true!

I've upgraded your wiki access to "editor" so you should be able to
better edit the 8086 pictures as you see fit.

The last photo is acting kind of "funky" but I have no idea what's
wrong.  I recommend deleting it and uploading a new version.

With these pictures I believe our dream of a truly free and open S-100
system "from scratch" is closer than ever to becoming reality.

Actually with all the boards we've got now (24 at last count) a larger
backplane is becoming something of an issue.

This is good news actually!  :-)

That's also great news that you have both the Z80 and 8086 CPUs in
your chassis.  The ability to switch bus master CPU's is amazing to
me!

We've made so much progress!  Much yet remains though!

Thank you very much for your efforts!  Have a Happy Holidays!
