On the 8088, guys. If you are thinking of getting into S-100 bus 16 bit systems really recommend you start with that board.  I hope I won’t regret it, but I will try and hand hold beginners a bit with this board to get them going.  I will checkout an assembled board in one of my systems if you have problems in yours to help narrow down issues.

 

Also I do hope people realize that this is a “not for profit” operation and that there is risk ordering these boards in that some screw-up in the layout could have happened. Andrew and I typically do a few prototypes,  but Murphy is always hanging around!

Hi!  Good news!  The S-100 4MB SRAM board and S-100 backplane board PCBs have arrived!  It was one massive box of S-100 PCBs!  Woo Hoo!

There should be enough for everyone.  The PCBs are $20 each plus $3 shipping in the US and $6 elsewhere.  Please send a PayPal to LYN...@YAHOO.COM and I will send your boards right away!

With some luck these PCBs will clear out quickly and then we can distribute the S-100 8088 CPU boards which should be here in a few days.  Then we can reorder the S-100 System Monitor Board and S-100 Bus Extender PCBs.  Somewhere mixed in there we will also introduce the S-100 LAVA and S-100 68K CPU board PCBs.

 

It should be an exciting summer for S-100 hobbyists!  w00t!  An enormous “THANK YOU” to everyone who has participated especially to John Monahan for his unending patience and sponsorship!

Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew Lynch
