Hi!

Here is an update on available S-100 board PCBs! I've sent out many of the
PCBs and they are almost gone.

There are 21 of the S-100 IDE V2 reorder PCBs and 2 of the new S-100 bus
terminator/prototyping board PCBs.

There are 2 of the S-100 LAVA PCBs available.

The S-100 PCBs cost the same as before ($20 each). However due to
unforeseen extreme price increases in shipping by USPS I am forced to change
shipping costs.

Shipping in the US will be $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional
PCB. Shipping internationally will be $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each
additional PCB. This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with
no tracking or insurance. The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per
usual arrangement.

I apologize for the large price increase on shipping but this is out of my
hands. The USPS is in dire financial trouble and is raising prices on
shipping. It affects us all and is most unfortunate. These boards are
provided "at cost" so there is no margin to absorb any shipping price
increases. I have to pass them along.

If you would like one or more S-100 PCBs please send a PayPal to

Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew,

For those, like me, who have never had a S100 system before, what do you suggest, to get started? Normally, I know, people use older S100 systems, including chassis, and upgrade components, or add boards. However, I don't have a system, at all, so I'd have to build everything, and buy a PSU. The chassis, too, I'd need to find, or build.

The S100 backplane doesn't get re-ordered very often, since almost everyone already has one, so what do you suggest, for that?

Thanks!
