I did a cost projection for the motherboard in my Imsai 8080
This is a 22slot , 8.5" x 17", 0.062" thickness, 2 layer pcb, 2oz copper.
The copper thickness might be alittle more, but I couldn't see mentioned
in the manual.
This is only for a batch order--eg, pre-orders only (20x)., as I don't
inventory bulk parts.
With a batch order of 20 units, including shipping costs, it's only $35
each.
Then with the 22x S-100 connectors, at $5 each, an additional $110.
The kit would be $145, minus the nuts n bolts(that's easy to find)
I might put this on my To-Do list.

But it'll take some work to find a good dealer for all the parts.
Also, gettig a bulk price, to keep it within reason.
I personally don't have an operation here to inventory parts in bulk.
It would be nice to make it a batch order much like the pcb design
I'm working on.
Only if there's enough people interested of course.
A motherboard would be very expensive. About $250 cost for 12 slots
at a production quantity of 50.
