Joseph, There definitely are/were 8-bit ISA SBCs. There is an eBay listing, right now, for a non-ISA 8-bit SBC, with an NEC V50 onboard, showing that such things did exist. The PC104 connector is really just ISA, with some extra pins thrown in, of course. I have a 16-bit ISA backplane that I use for an NEC V30 SBC, which is or course a close cousin. - Alex On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 10:37 AM, Joseph Oprysko via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Is anyone here aware of such a beast? I have a Heathkit/Zenith Z-150 system. It's motherboard is literally just an 8-Bit ISA backplane, the computer occupies 4 of the ISA slots.
I'm curious if there exists a Single Board Computer that would work in the 8-bit slots.
What I would actually like to try is to have multiple SBC's on the ISA bus, and have them communicate with each other.
If anyone knows if such a board exists, I'd appreciate the help.
