[vcf-midatlantic] 8-bit ISA slot Single Board Computer

[J. Alexander Jacocks]

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.
