[net.micro] S100 Help

    Any ideas of where I can get these things.  The frame can probably come
    from Compupro as can the RAM card, but for some reason they BELIEVE in
    CPM, MSDOS they could care less about.  They also don't support 5.25"
    drives.

In this month's issue of Microsystems, there's an ad from an outfit
called MSPRO which advertises a board/5.25 inch disk combo that they
claim will let you run IBM stuff on Godbout stuff.  Don't have the ad
quickly, though.

I am looking to stock my 'ole S100 system with something more powerful
than just an INS8080A and a serial board I don't have any specs for.

What I am looking to build would be as follows:

Cpu	68020
Memory	1.xMeg
Disk	Hard disk controller, w/20 meg hard disk or more.
Floppy	It would be nice if the controller for above could drive a 5+1/4".
Comm	Some interrupt driven serial board, > 4 ports

No doubt this is not a final spec, but good enough to start building. 
My problem comes in where I don't know where to get S100 cards anymore.

If someone knows of some good dealers in this area (New England), I would
be very greatful. Thanks.
