It's Alive, ALIVE!

Hello to all, Just wanted to share a very tiny, but nonetheless important moment for me. Took a homebrewed S-100 power supply, connected it to a nice Wameco motherboard (thanks ajp!), threw in a Cromemco SCC (thanks Mike for the monitor and Control Basic), and was greeted by a wonderful "OK >" prompt on my terminal. "QUIT" out to the monitor prompt (":"), and fooled around a bit, then a "B" back into Control Basic. Not much I admit, but a working SCC, good EPROMs, and a working PS/motherboard... It felt really good. Next up, I added a Cromemco 8K ByteSaver II, and read out some 2708s. I tried to program a couple, but got stymied. I think I just need to do more "R"ing of TFM. Neat to finally be able to at least read them out. All I need to do is throw in a couple of 16K Static RAM cards, and either a Cromemco TUART or a Godbout Interfacer, and I'll be rocking a bit! Final test is the Dynabyte floppy controller! Baby steps, I admit, but still felt cool.... Rich B.
