Were you the winner of the eBay auction? It went for a
very reasonable
price. It was very difficult for me to not bid on it - those are great
boards for use with early S100 systems :)

Hello! I actually did not bid on it. Someone else from the community sold
me one. The irony is for the exact same price that the eBay one sold for,
which was a price we agreed on before the ending of the eBay auction.
In my case I have an IMSAI with a Northstar controller and a deramp SIO
board, so I need the hole in RAM. I had a RAM board with the phantom
signal stuff I think but it didn't seem to work.
I just want to be able to run Northstar DOS and CP/M. Most likely when
events start up again it will go to an event or two (Carefully) where the
public can play on it. I will probably put a terminal out but keep the
machine behind glass (so to speak) due to the switches being
rare/expensive/fragile/whatever.
I also use that board that emulates hard sectored disks and it works well.
