Well, I know it works, 'cause I've done it myself, but it's been
awhile. It doesn't work 100% like an original or a Cromemco ZPU, though.
After making all the mods to the CPUZ, you have to bring the CPA itself
through all its updates if it hasn't been already, then you have to
check the buss lines structure between the two boards to ensure are
signals are what they should be... especially the ground lines. This
last step is because the CPUZ is S-100 IEEE-696 compliant, whereas the
CPA was not...

Anyone have any experience getting the front panel of an IMSAI computer
to work with a CompuPro CPU-Z S100 board? I read the documentation
(
http://maben.homeip.net/static/S100/compupro/cards/CompuPro%20CPU-Z.pdf),
and there seems some configuration required, I obviously am missing
something as it is not working properly even after I attempt the config
in the documentation.
If you currently have a board working and can share a photo, or can
provide any technical assistance, I would be extremely grateful!
