Re: S-100 VDP prototype board PCBs are here

Neil,

I ran into the same problem.  I had to place an order with phoenixent
for some parts anyways so I ordered 4 of them I think.
They are in the mail now with delivery on Monday.  I can send one to
you if you send me your mail address via email.  I figure
we will be sharing trials and tribulations on bringing up this
board :)
