Mile High Test got back to me, they've got the 560Z board and just needed me to sign off on the work order. Should have scans soon!

Could and optional 6502 or 6809 CPU sub board plug in to the Z80 socket or separate socket be added to the 560Z somehow ? ?

Sure, there's already a footprint for adding another 40-pin CPU. It seems that OSI intended this board to be used to experiment with new CPUs without having to design the rest of the computer. Interfacing is left as an exercise to the reader :)

Very nice! You can count me in for a couple of those boards.

Wrapping up some changes to the preorder system, should have it deployed tonight. I thought I had it finished, but ended up upgrading the framework I use due to a security advisory. Always something :)

As promised:

Even if you've contacted me about these boards, PLEASE PREORDER! That gets your name and email into my system so I can process the preorders automatically.

I'm thinking I will let the preorder run until the end of the Chinese New Year festivals, there's no point in submitting boards now, they won't get processed anyway!

Just submitted the artwork to the PC board house! I'm ordering 25 bare boards. Looks like they'll be around $20 USD each + shipping.

Ordered a bunch of 9x12" bubble mailers and "DO NOT BEND" stickers today -- expecting the boards in by the end of next week!
