Subject: CompuPro Boards

Netlandians,

Saw Jerry Pournelle's confirm on the new CompuPro S-100 video graphics board,
and once again hunger for some of their high-quality stuff.  But again and
again I read/hear of their products only in relation to their OWN CPU boards,
memory, I/O boards, etc.

S-100 is nice, and I have one each fully standard high-tech S-100 buss in my
trusty Toad, a Morrow Decision I.  But WHO knows which CompuPro products WILL
in fact run with other CPUs, disk controllers, I/O boards, etc??

Any vendors out there?  Anyone who stuffed CompuPro into a non-Compupro/Gifford
system?  Sorry if this seems stupid, but I am not very smart about this level
of hardware integration (yet), and greatly fear hundreds of bucks spent on a
a beautiful piece of technology fit only to be framed and hung on the wall!
I dearly love Morrow products, but ... they don't MAKE a 16-bit CPU board!
And they don't MAKE a video board.

Thanks in advance,
David Kirschbaum
