Quite happy with it.

I'm a bit blown away by how capable this is out-of-box. I am using kits like this one to build my own tools, and I don't really expect a tremendous amount of utility from the included operating systems on most of them, but I can already tell that the included software is going to prove invaluable in learning how to develop for 8-bit systems.

It gives you plenty of execution environments to get started with; including Basic, Forth, CP/M and it even comes with a nice game.

I really like how compact this board is.

The documentation is robust and complete. Kit is neatly packed and and well labelled.

Merchant was able to answer technical questions I had about the peripheral ecosystem. Merchant's blog is a tremendously rich source of knowledge. Highly recommended.

Perfect kit for a Z50Bus CP/M 3 system

Top quality! Everything packed safely, no missing parts, quick delivery.
Clear and easy to follow assembly instructions, including nice hints for testing the assembled board before mounting ICs, thus reducing the risk of error.
This is a reasonably easy build if you have a little soldering experience.
I really like the Z50Bus, which is mechanically stable, making it easy to insert and remove additional cards safely.
My setup is built on an SC128 backplane, also available from Steve.
The kit worked 100% on first power-on after assembly.
The RomWBW software provided with the kit contains much useful CP/M software. Personally, I am using CP/M 3 which runs very well on the SC140.

If you want to build a robust Z50Bus system, this card and the SC128 backplane is the perfect start (note that the SC140 can run completely standalone as a single-board computer).

I highly recommend this product, and also the other kits provided by Steve.
