Hi Josh,
Great news! Thank you for all your efforts bringing this board to life . Even though my hardware seemed to work properly, I still had a concern that I had a hardware problem since I had so much trouble running CP/M from the SD card. I was actually relieved when you experienced similar problems. At least it was easy to fix for you once you realized the differences between the 2 CP/M releases. I feel what you have done with this board is tremendous. You designed a complete S-100 single board computer that is compatible with IMSAI, Altair & the MiniFP front panels, provided a nice monitor program and customized CP/M to run on it. The board was a lot of fun to build and I am looking forward to building the MiniFP to work with it. Also, kudos to Don Caprio, Rich Cini & you for all your work on the MiniFP board. These 2 boards will make a very compact retro S-100 system when used in conjunction with the N8VEM 8 slot S-100 backplane. That still leaves 6 slots open for expansion & hardware testing. Woo Hoo! Thanks again for a job well done, Also a huge thank you to John Monahan, Andrew Lynch and all the others who have done so much for keeping the S-100 bus alive almost 40 years after it's inception. I have many of John's & Andrew's boards in the process of being completed but I finished the Altair-IMSAI 8080 board first as it gave me an operational system on one board to play around with before I finish the other boards.
