The order is being run at the PC board fab :) We decided that any leftovers *will* be available some time after VCF East, but at a higher price. That allowed me to go ahead and order 50 without worrying about getting stuck with unsellable boards, so there should be plenty for everyone. Got a few remaining parts to order. All discrete passives are in (resistors, caps, LEDs, crystals, connectors). Most of the TTL is in. I have to go through my stock of Intel 8085s and 8251As and test them, I may need to order more.

Previously-linked thread updated, got IMSAI 8K BASIC going! Parts should mostly be in this week, I'll put together a costing sheet and figure out what it'll cost.
Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for the positive feedback! The "holes" on the wreath aren't actually holes, though -- too many traces running behind it! I thought about doing that, though :)
Getting parts and whatnot together, depending on how many I end up ordering, it looks like the bare PC boards will be between $10 and $15. Pretty good for an 5x8 circuit board!
Thanks, Jonathan

I love that the wreath is copper and micro-vias.
I'm very enthusiastic about this, and will definitely buy one from you, when they are available.

I have to admit. That is pretty cool.
