In addition to the backplane and S-100 cards there was a Lobo dual 8" floppy subsystem and a fair amount of documentation and software. |

I haven't yet had the time to work with this machine much. I've configured it to be nearly ready to try out, but haven't yet actually plugged it into a terminal and pushed the on button.
Compupro and associated cards, documentation and software donated by Andrew Porter.
CompuPro/VIASYN also released 68000 and Nat Semi 32016-based CPU cards for the S-100 bus. I resurrected a CompuPro CPM-68k system while I was in college, and I managed to acquire one of the 32k CPU boards a couple years ago. One former CompuPro dealer I'm in touch with does not recall Godbout ever offering any finished software for the 32k, though. Should be interesting when I finally get around to playing with it...
