RE: [N8VEM-S100:1230] S-100 board reorders

Could I suggest to those that can afford it, to have two of their critical S-100 boards. I don’t know how many times my second (backup) S-100 boards saved my neck over the years. There is real comfort falling back to a known working Z80, RAM, ZFDC and/or dual ID, and console IO boards. If they are identical with a broken board simple chip replacements quickly gets to the bottom of a problem. Particularly the first two boards.

Hi

I am looking for ideas on S-100 board orders/reorders for after the S-100 LAVA PCB order arrives (imminent) and the S-100 Console IO board reorder (next).

The S-100 68K CPU board and S-100 80286 CPU board are the next PCB orders. However I really don’t have a clear preference for the next board reorders.

I am thinking some of the common more popular boards should go next such as the S-100 IDE V2, S-100 4MB SRAM, and S-100 buffered prototyping board.

Those tend to go quickly and won’t “plug up the system” with a bunch of unsold boards.

Ideas? Comments? Thoughts? Please let me know. Thanks and have a happy holidays!
