Re: [N8VEM-S100:3907] Optima S-100 Case

I'll send an email to the sales department at Optima and see what they recommend for getting a case with a custom card cage.

Probably something is more similar to my Vector MZ chassis than the earlier S-100 systems like the Altair.

It's possible they can do it by assembling their off the shelf parts in which case I could just make a "how to" guide for others as far as what to order.

Hi Andrew,
I'd be interested: my actual S100 box is becoming a little too tight and I'll need another.

All,

I'm working on building out some ECB cards for my Siemens 505-6508 chassis build. It's a good experience with RomWBW being available to tie all the boards together. However, I now have a large pile of S-100 boards that I have accumulated. And my mind is moving towards my ultimate goal which is to do a new-build S-100 system. Ant's 18-slot backplane will be here soon.

I know that a couple people on the other side of the ocean have used Moducase parts to make a custom case. However I think I'd like an Optima case - after all they made the case for the original Altair 8800, and the classic light blue color is still available.

I've been looking at the E series instrument cases - http://www.elma.com/en/products/cabinets/optima-instrument-cases/product-pages/ex-er-instrument/ex-er-instrument-detail/.

If I did up a design with the Optima sales folks, would anyone else be interested in a group buy of cases?

Andrew
