Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Wanting to get into s100 homebrewing
Hi Randy, Good eye! I built it from a NOS bare board. It almost worked the first time. I had a tiny solder bridge between 2 traces which wasn’t that hard to do as there is no solder mask. It is one of the few S-100 boards I had built that wasn’t solder masked. I guess I got complacent. I also have the BYT-8 front panel board but I have been looking for the enclosure for years. I may wind up getting one fabbed down the road if I don’t find one. Regards, Jeff Sent from my iPhone

I saw one somewhere on Ebay. Not marked as one specifically, but it looked like it. I sold my byt-8 to Jon Chapman, he might be willing to measure it for you, it was a generic s100 box then. On Tue, Nov 24, 2020, 7:15 PM Jeff Galinat via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Hi Bill, Thanks for the reply. I have seen a BYT-8 chassis show up on eBay, usually from the same over priced seller. The one I have seen pop up has the blank front panel not the drilled & silk screened one for the switches & LEDs. Thanks for the tip. I will ask Jonathan to see if he can take some measurements for me and a close up of the front panel if he has one.
