FS: CCS Model 2016 16K Static RAM S100 Board Tested/Working in Box
by Systems Glitch 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Just finished testing it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272102935924 Tested and repaired by me, including bank select functionality. Programmable bank select feature so you should be able to set it up for either Cromemco or North Star bank select, or your own thing. Tested on my IMSAI 8080, so it works with front panels. Uses common 2114 static RAMs. Includes what looks like the original box, warranty card, some parts identification sheets, and a large ziploc bag. The box says, "Meets IEEE proposed S-100 signal standards," but I'm pretty sure that's only for 8-bit operation. I don't think it's compatible with 16-bit data buses. One of the address switches has a broken paddle, but is 100% functional. I'll replace it for free if desired. Thanks, Jonathan

FS: Official MITS Altair S100 Extender
by Systems Glitch 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Going through more S100 stuff: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272101989743 This one is like every other S100 extender, except made by MITS. It's one of the shorter ones, so you can leave it in and still put the top on the case. The connector is still very tight, from the edge connector it looks like this board was used very little (huh? no constant debugging with MITS stuff?!) Thanks, Jonathan

New museum furniture / special fundraiser
by Evan Koblentz 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Everyone, In the new museum, we're going to need about $3,000 for exhibit furniture, more electrical power, converting the single door into a double-wide door, and all sorts of small things. Can you (or your company) please help? We set up newmuseum(a)vintagecomputerfederation.org. Funds into that account will only be used for building the new museum display. We already have $1,000 budgeted for this purpose. This list has 162 members. To get the remaining $2,000, that works out to about $13/person -- one nice lunch. Thank you!
