That's a risky proposition. CompuPro produced some of the best but much of
the worst S-100 hardware ever made. It seems that Bill Godbout would buy a
couple of boxcar loads of j-k flipflops and the next 5 boards his guys
produced would be made from them. Nobody cared if they worked. People
bought them because they were cheap. Interoperability was never a concern
for Godbout. If it worked with ONE of their other boards, that was good
enough.
