I would like to mention two additional CPU boards:<br>
<br>
7. The Mini-68K, based on the 8-bit bus version of the Motorola
68000. However, this is a two board system, and requires a
backplane.<br>
<br>
8. The Z180 Mark IV board, an expansion of the Z80 system. One
board has an IDE interface for CF cards, an SD card socket, and the
usual serial I/O connection to a terminal. Like the SBC v2, it runs
CP/M from ROM or a boot device.<br>

The list of available PCBs is posted here:

You will also find the list of available projects on the Wiki,
normally along with documentation, including the bill of
materials. <br>
<br>
To give you some ideas about available SBCs:<br>
1. N8VEM SBC V2 - possibly the most popular and the best
supported SBC. It is Zilog Z80 based. It has SRAM, EPROM/Flash,
UART and a Parallel port on board. It also features ECB
interface, so that you can extend it using EBC backplane and
additional ECB boards (Disk I/O board for example). You will
need some kind of terminal to work with this board (normally a
terminal emulator software running on your PC), and cable or
even USB to serial converter to connect the SBC to the
terminal/PC.<br>
2. Zeta SBC - Similar and software compatible with N8VEM SBC,
but designed to be a standalone system. Compared to N8VEM SBC V2
it does include floppy disk controller on board. It pairs with
ParPortProp board, which provides a terminal functionality using
a standard VGA display and a PS/2 keyboard, as well as SD-card
interface for storage.<br>
3. N8VEM SBC-188 - Intel 80188 based SBC. It can run some MS-DOS
applications, but not 100% PC compatible. It includes an FDC, it
can be also extended using ECB cards.<br>
4. Various S100 boards. This is probably for more experienced
people. <br>
5. Home Computer board. I'd say it is also for more experienced
people.<br>
6. Xi 8088. An IBM PC/XT compatible board. Not exactly an SBC,
as it requires more components to work (display card, disk
controller, and so on). Not for beginners either.<br>

into making them. Problem is, I have no idea what chips I
would need, nor where to buy boards. Any help?

Many thanks,
