One of the other things I saw when looking (and would love to get ahold of) is the Diamond Trackstar board. It's an Apple II SBC for an ISA slot. On Tuesday, September 20, 2016, J. Alexander Jacocks via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
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.

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.
