If you are doing a design with on-board regulators in the 21st

Heat dissipation will be MUCH lower if you do this.
True, but with the advent
modern chips like CMOS I see that
power consumption less of a problem. Is the proto-board
for 8 bit S-100 or 16 bit S-100 as I remember some where the buss
was upgraded for 16 bit processors? ( Can you say INTEL ? )
If it where not for that fact, having De-codeing and buffer chips
laid out as that would save some space rather than in the pro-type
area.
