John, No problem. Not that I can speak for the group, but I *believe* the whole group understands how tricky it is to design these boards.
It took me between 20 and 30 hours to make a "simple" buffered prototype board. Granted, 5 hours was spent learning Basic KiCad. I just wanted to speak up so I wouldn't "miss the boat".

I'm scared to do a bulk run at the moment because last week (by chance), I came across a serious address line screw-up that required the board to be modified (trace cut, wire jumper etc.). Because of the way I have this board laid out (so the mezzanine boards can also be used on the 32 bit 32MB Static RAM board for the (future) 80386 board) its real tricky keeping things straight. I think I have it right now, but frankly I would lose sleep over it if I had everybody order/pay for a board and come across another bug. I anticipate this will be the last S100 bus board anybody would need, I want to get it right.FYI, attached are the current schematics etc. So... unfortunately, it will be at least 1 month before we could pull the trigger on a bulk purchase.John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Crusty OMO Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 4:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [N8VEM-S100:2949] Re: A new 16MB S100 Bus static RAM board John, are you taking orders for 16MB S100 SRAM? Put me down for 2 please. Josh-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group.
