Where does one get a reasonable prototyping card for PC/XT/AT machines? In the old days there was a company who made a mostly-blank S-100 bus board with lots of empty area, with power busses, and with the address decode and data buffering that you _always_ need actually provided in etch. You added the chips for those and then started wiring your kludge. It was even reasonably cheap. For the PC/XT/AT all I've seen are the ones from Vector. They cost $60-$70 and have no basic logic provided. Anyone know of anything better? Thanks, Bob Clements, K1BC, clements@bbn.com

I was looking for the same thing, and the best prices I've seen were
from JDR Microdevices. They sell a bare board for the XT for $27.95
and a version with ``I/O decoding layout'' for $29.95. A parts kit
for $8.95 allows you to populate the I/O decoding portion of the board.
They have boards for the AT and PS/2 for slightly higher prices.
If anyone knows of better prices, I'd be interested as well.

Part 276-192 ($4.99) is a 4-1/2 x 5-11/16 board with one pad per hole and a 72 position 100 mil connector. Definitely not as nice as the JDR one, but much cheaper. They also sell both 8-bit and 16-bit card edge connectors... >----- >UUCP: {seismo,pur-ee,convex}!uiucdcs!uicsrd!sehr >ARPANET: sehr%uicsrd@a.cs.uiuc.edu >CSNET: sehr%uicsrd@uiuc.csnet >BITNET: sehr@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu /mike \|/ Michael L.
