Attempt to upload Excel BOM for 88-UIO board.

It looks like some have fallen out of stock. It's a constant battle for us vintage computer enthusiasts.

Yes, it certainly is! At least Digi-Key will ship the parts when they do come in.
I ordered the out-of-stock parts on eBay, though, since I'm notoriously impatient!

I built up a production board and it's working perfectly!

The boards arrived today. Beautiful! This should be an easy build. The solder mask is right on and all the holes look good.

Thank you for all your work to produce this wonderful board!

Thanks Tom! It is easy to build. There's just a ton of solder joints, roughly 700.

I added an FDC+ to my system and connected a Percom drive (Atari version). I had to disconnect the Atari interface board and add a ribbon cable from the drives to the FDC+. Spent some time copying disk images to floppy. Now my system is cooking! Dual minidisks, cassette deck, 64K RAM plus ROM with only a 4 slot backplane!

Cool setup!
