[Coco] CoCo experimenter/prototyping board

[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys!
Here is a link to a close up picture of the Coco Slot Extender PCB.

As I have a lot of time on my hands, I can make available kits or assembled
units.  I did not design this board, but it was the first PCB I ever made to
gain experience getting a PCB manufactured.  If I did one now, it would take
on a slightly different look, but would function the same.  The 40 pin
header pin out is exactly the same as the edge connector.  No Buffering at
all of course.  If changes are needed, I'd be happy to make them.  Take care
my friends.
Kip

Andrew (and others)
Kip Koon has already made up a board that is just a "card" with pads to
connect a project board. I think he said it had room for a 40 pin header for
interfacing. If someone would use his board and make a ribbon cable
attatchment to a project board, that would be great.
I'm pretty sure he said his "slot extender card" is on OSH park. I don't
know the link or name so Kip needs to post that.

Nick,

I would love to have one (or more) boards of this nature; in fact, I was
seriously considering purchasing some of the EPROM boards for repurposing
them in such a manner.

If you do make such a board, a suggestion I would have would be to allow for
the easy addition (if wanted) of some way to buffer the CPU lines, in a way
like the Cloud9 ProTector setup (IIRC). I don't know what this would take,
or how difficult it would be to route a board for it (might have to go to a
larger board size?) - but it would be one thing that would make me less
hesitant about interfacing stuff to my CoCo...
