That is about the same price I paid for these damaged ones. I will place an order. Surprisingly, these ones actually work. I had to clean the black marker off with isopropyl, but all segments are working (well, I didn't actually test the decimal points, because I couldn't be bothered to figure out the dropping resistor this late at night). The deep scratches are still quite distracting though. I now have the IDE board up and running, and I'm able to write to the I/O ports to change the displays. Now all that's left is the small matter of writing a CP/M BIOS to actually use this board in my NorthStar. I'm a 6502 guy (and a bad one at that) so I'm not looking forward to teaching myself Z80 and how to build a BIOS at the same time :) Oh, and I suppose I should just jump right in and upgrade from CP/M 2.2 to CP/M 3 while I'm at it...
