Yeah those pins I posted were only for a special situation where you needed both round and low profile. On Jun 16, 2016 4:52 PM, "Stephen Adolph" wrote: > thanks for the offer, a write up on bitchin100 would be great! > > >

it is an attempt to do so. I don't think it works too well. There seems to be a small probability that it comes up in a non zero state, which I never got to the bottom of. On Thu, Jun 16, 2016 at 4:39 PM, Atsushi Takahashi wrote: > The 500k + 1uF looks like part of a

The 500k + 1uF looks like part of a power-on reset to reset the 74AC74 to point to bank 0, perhaps??? On Jun 16, 2016, at 4:29 PM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > I will post a parts list later. > Pins should be round machine pins. you can get round machine pin > headers on ebay

I will post a parts list later. Pins should be round machine pins. you can get round machine pin headers on ebay for .10-.20 cents per pin. Logic parts look right. there are variants that also work, TC551001 BFTL for example. no need for low leakage but it's better of course. the time

Dear Steve, I’m excited that you released the QUAD PC board! I’m a new Model 100 owner with a long history going back to the S-100 bus days. Most of the components on the board are in the photo on the QUAD web page but I was wondering what capacitors and resistor values are needed: 0.1uF

What, the rex 4 boards? Don't worry about that. Unless you actually want them for something? I'll mail them to you just a favor if you have some use for them, but I don't care about the $6. I don't have them yet. Probably another week. -- bkw On Jun 16, 2016 12:29 PM, "Stephen Adolph"

Hi Brian, I think that the space at one end would be enough for a diode or even a small jumper; as a matter of fact one of the jumper positions on the M100ROM board is for (re)programming. You'd still need an adapter of course. But I don't think I'd bother unless I had a pile of 27C256s to get

Crap I'm sorry Mike! But the question was about an option rom not the main rom. A dip28 chip just about fills all available volume in the option rom socket. If you need to add anything else to the board, it will be difficult. There is a little room on the edge, and there is about 1/10" of height

Mike, I'm not trying to make a re-programmable Option ROM. Just a one time insert. I do most of my testing and debugging with Virtual-T, then burn a 27C256 and do final testing on my NEC which doesn't require an adapter. So its really out of habit that I ask the question about an adapter for
