Whatever happened to that idea of building

I'd be interested in a system that used the CF
connectors to be
the edge card connectors. they should be cheap, and would hit the
form factor well. Both sexes are available so you could integrate
the backplane with the connectors prewired on a big pc board, and
make gobs of the little flip chips to plug in.
Even two-row 0.1" header pins would probably work well. That's
what I'll most likely use for a backplane-based Z80 system I've been
working on for a while. "Real" backplane connectors are very, very
expensive.
