PCBWay offers plenty of services for retro enthusiasts, including custom PCB manufacturing and assembly, 3D printing, injection molding, and CNC machining!
Now that we have the barebones Mirco 8088 working (CPU board and backplane), we need to add some way to get files onto the computer, and somewhere to store them.
Sergey (the developer of the Micro 8088) has created a Floppy Drive Controller addon card, so we can load files from a floppy disk drive. He also created an easy to solder version of the XT-CF-Lite card, which will allow the Micro 8088 to store files on Compact Flash cards.
On this stream, we'll go over both of these addon cards and start building them so we can take the Micro 8088 to the next level!
