I provide the exact same parts that were on the origional BOM, but don't
try to match date codes! : )
I guess everyone has their own idea of what is vintage enough.
Yes, that's why I quoted
"authentic". There's nothing (IMO) about
the presence or absence of a 7805 that makes an S-100 board any more
or less authentic...that's the point I was trying to get across.
Well, I don't know much about the nuances of this collecting thing.
Does replacement of 74LS logic with, say, 74HCT logic lower the value
of a vintage object?
