Oops! Will see if there is room. Things are very tight as it is. One issue is there are actually two connector formats, the original Molex pins used in the Altair and the IC socket type pins used in the IMSAI (and others). Still holding out not to resort to GAL’s!

Subject: Re: [N8VEM-S100:7580] S-100 Building I didn't see an Altair/Imsai front panel connector. Did I miss it? If you re-do this board would you please consider adding one? Some of us who have the mini-Imsai front panel boards would really like one here! There's nothing like some blinky lights!

First, sorry for not starting a new thread, but I'm having troubles with Google Groups, suffice to say that Google isn't as elegant as an S-100 system.
Recently, a new member (he can introduce himself) was looking to buy some boards. His interest came from remembering a time when he saw S-100 systems but could not afford them. Sound familiar? I surely can relate to this, being a poor teenager in the late 70's.
Anyway, I just thought he could use some advice on what type of S-100 to build.
Being a versatile computer, you can build anything you like, but to really appreciate and enjoy the build, it should be something that you can relate to. Obviously, he's got a computer/electronics back ground, so perhaps a build to parallel something that was once done or now doing? Or if you are into music/sound, a build that will create a sound studio.
Myself, being into security systems, I have often thought of making an S-100 card to work as an alarm system, with Card Access. Perhaps that might be my next board?
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Josh Bensadon --
