Hi Josh, I just picked up that you are working on the propeller I/O board. I am also interested in having the 8080 CPU board support this. As you know I am using your 8080 CPU board now with my Altair.
Right now I am building the 8-slot S-100 backplane and I have the mini front panel board and the propeller I/O board that I am going to build. So, if I can get this all built I should have a nice little S-100 system to play with. If you don't mind keep me posted on your progress.
