Trying to source JAIR 8080

[andrewh]

I'm trying to source a JAIR 8080, either just the PCB or ready-built. So far I've been unsuccessful. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Since he’s built one, he probably knows where to get the PCBs.

The designer, Josh Bensadon, is the only one who produces those boards that I know of. He can be reached at jbensadon@hotmail.com.

Unfortunately I'm not getting a response from him.

Unfortunately I'm not getting a response from him.

I'm pretty certain he will respond eventually. The other place you can post the question is in the Google Groups "S100 Computers" forum, which he also checks into from time to time.
The only way to get a JAIR board (bare, or built) is directly from Josh. He does occasionally list the JAIR on eBay, but not at the moment.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to contact this person.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to contact this person.

Andrew Bingham <abingham@gmail.com> at least in 2019.

I was at VCF East last week with Josh. He's been very busy with repairing and documenting the late Ed Keefe's legacy RCA1802 hardware, prepping hardware for Joyce Weisbecker's VCF East talk, and also working on a very taxing circuit board reconstruction for a computer history museum. And all that on top of a regular day job and family life then driving us weirdos to NJ in his RV.

Maybe try pinging him again soon. I don't know if he has any boards at present
