A computer kit from the '70s: Ithaca Audio Z80 CPU card for the S100 bus

Haven't had much time to write on my blog lately (lately being the last 5 months or so), mostly because of my job, but also because I spend most of my time doing things and saying "oh, it would be cool to blog about this once I'm done!". Then I'm done, and immediately find something else to do before I find the time to sit down and write about the last thing I did. That's how I am.

Anyway, I REALLY wanted to blog about this little project I spent a few evenings on, so here I am.
But first, a little background: do you, Reader, know about the S-100 computers? If yes, skip on, if not, I'll try to be quick and painless, leaving in-depth history and tech to specialized websites like this one.
