Hi!
The second batch of N8VEM SBC PCBs have arrived and been distributed
to the waiting list.
If you are interested in building your own home brew Z80 CP/M single
board computer please contact me.
There are several PCBs remaining and are available for $20 each plus
shipping.

Hi!
A quick update on the N8VEM project. I still have plenty of SBC PCBs
available if anyone would like to build their own home brew computer.
Also, I have received my order of ECB backplane PCBs so if you are
interested in building a bus based home brew computer based on the
N8VEM SBC.
The ECB backplane is a generic as possible implementation of the ECB
bus standard with all 96 conductors supported. In addition, jumpers
are provided for IEI/IEO and BAI/BAO capability if desired. The ECB
backplane may work with other ECB devices although I have not tested
them.
