I've been making basic design plans for my 8080- based homebrew computer.
I want to build the system using the S-100 standard so that I could potentially add on commercially-built boards later.
I've decided on wire-wrap board construction since the connections are solid and resistant to damage or corrosion. Plus it just looks so damn cool!
I figure I can use plain perfboard to make the cards, but I need some way of grafting card-edge fingers onto the board and wrap them into the circuit, allowing me to connect to card to a standard S-100 backplane. Is there a premade part in existence to accomplish this, of will this be a project in and of itself?
Joe: You might want to obtain some S-100 prototyping boards, such as this one: http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/S100/Vector8800V-L.jpg Modern versions are discussed, here: http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Prototype%20Board/Prototype...
