Hi
If anyone is interested in building their own CP/M or other hobbyist home
brew computer there are plenty of N8VEM ECB PCBs available.
These can be used to build your own system from scratch or to augment an
existing home brew computer.
The ECB standard is essentially a Z80 bus so these PCBs are easy to
interface into most any home brew system. They are also reliable and easy to
assemble using only through hole components (no SMT or exotic technologies).
Here is the current inventory of PCBs. As you can see there are many boards
still available for the ECB systems.

The ECB PCBs are $20 each plus $2 shipping in the US and $5 elsewhere. Most
builders send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at
YAHOO.COM but other arrangements are
possible.
All of the design information like schematics, PCB layout, KiCAD EDA files,
software, build instructions, parts lists, etc are all free and publicly
posted on the N8VEM wiki.
If funds and/or PayPal is an issue, we can make trades for certain computer
parts, electronic components, tools, metals, coins, unused gift cards,
shipping materials, scrap, etc.
Please let's discuss! Thanks and have a happy holidays!
