RE: [N8VEM-S100:1049] Upcoming S-100 SMB Reorder

I like the flexibility of the daughter board. I purchased the TIL displays
already in anticipation of the reorder; besides- the savings might not be
much compared to the cost of the whole S100 system. Who said computers would
be cheap? :)
My vote, for what it's worth, is to leave it as is.

Regarding the upcoming S-100 SMB
(http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/SMB%20Board/S100%20Bus%20SMB.h
tm)
reorder, should we consider whether if there are no particular advantages of
the expen$ive HP 5082-7340 displays (e.g.?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5082-7340-Manu-HP-Encapsulation-DIP-8-5082-73xx-Hexa
decimal-And-Numeric-/110933733537)
over the TIL displays that we drop the daughter board for the former as a
means of shaving the total cost of the board-set a little?
