How are the other cards (PROM and serial) coming along? I'd rather not have to scrounge around ebay to find these.

I would like to find a blank 8800B display/control board. I have the interface board in blank form.

The other cards are beautiful. I have tested the 2SIO and PMC boards. I've used the 2SIO board as a CP/M terminal and have transfered disks with it. I've used the PMC along with an EPROM programmer to make 1701s.

The only one I am waiting on is the 88-ACR cassette interface board. The SIOB is fine, but the MODEM board that goes with it uses some hard to find pots. Any pot would work, but wouldn't fit right.

I'm in Alabama right now but will be home on Tuesday. Remind me then to take some pictures of the pot. If you can find one that fits I might have to give you a discount!

I only have a few pictures of the new cards. They have not been resized and I did not take them for "quality". They are just pictures that I happened to take before I left.

Here are some teaser pictures:
