regarding switches, have a look at my "homebrew pdp8/e" on my
website (www.pdp-11.nl) in the "my projects" folder.
Btw, Vince had a hand in this project too! :-)
I don't think you can go for smaller switches, unless you have
really tiny fingers ... The width of the paddles of these switches
is approx 8 mm. Smaller would be too difficult to use.

I'd be interested in a system that used the CF

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.
I'd be interested in a tiny front panel with SMT LED's but don't know
what you'd get for the front panel switches.
Jim Whatever happened to that idea of building
mini-flipchips with
surface-mount parts?
