Built and tested full kit and CF board.

For Glitch Works 8085 SBC rev 4 Mini

Built the kit, goes together fast and worked first time.

Not a big fan of doing bitbash serial but its economical
and cuts the number of parts. However its half duplex so
CTRL-C does not interrupt the IO. Plainly listening while
spinning the CPU is not done.

My goal would be to mod it for a serial IO card as there i a bus for that.
Then I need software sources for the monitor and CP/M BIOS
so I can add "disks" being the CF is far larger than 8MB. The existing
sources only go as a far as the R3 board and nothing about the
CP/M BIOS.

Documentation was more than adequate to build and test but
woefully lacking to do any modification of the software.
The CF board was put together using guess and by golly
as it as mostly just populating the board.

I've emailed the owner and no response.

A good addition to the 8085 SBC.

For Glitch Works 8255 PPI Parallel Card for Glitchbus

The 8255 is a great addition to any 8085 SBC. The ability to have input and output bits available makes the controller useful for many applications. It would be better if the port C pins were brought out to a header like the other two ports.

Excellent product

For Glitch Works XT-IDE rev 4B

Very high quality kit, easy to assemble, but you'll have to dig around on the website(s) to find instructions and information. I wish they would put everything in one place, clearly labeled. The board works perfectly. I'm using it in a PT68K-2, which is an Motorola 68000 CPU motherboard in a PC/AT case. Of course the XT-IDE IBM PC BIOS is useless in a 68K machine, so I'm writing my own hard disk drivers in 68K assembly language. It's slow going, but so far, so good, and the XT-IDE board is working just fine. I have not tried it in my PC/XT clone yet...

Works Well

For Glitch Works XT-IDE rev 4B

Took quite a while to ship and was missing some parts, unfortunately I never got a response back on the missing parts but was easy enough to source them locally. Other than that it works well and does the job. No documentation but the board is clearly marked with what need to go where.
