I seriously doubt that - it is a 100 pin connector with pins that are 0.8mm apart - you are not going to find anything that can do that with 0.1in spacing thru hole. Again I don't see the point of trying to put modern 32/64 bit processors on a crippled bus. I think what we really need is to stabilize what we have and make sure there is supporting software. I am not seeing many people in this group writing software (sure like soldering boards) or the 68K issue would have been surfaced a lot sooner. I still have not gotten IDE to work with it yet. I am not sure it is software or hardware but I am strongly leaning to the latter. I am in the process of verifying my software on the mini-68K ECB which I know the IDE port works on as I have used it with John C's software. Once I confirm that my code works there and not on the S100 version then I will know for sure.
