Ampro LittleBoard/186 SBC

 

August 10, 2007

Last week I picked-up a neat single-board computer from the mid-1980's manufactured by Ampro -- the LittleBoard/186. The LB186 is the second in a series of single-board computers (following the the BigBoard Z80-based SBC).

This SBC is in a 5-1/4" form factor (8" x 5.5") so it could be bolted to a floppy drive. I believe that this was the first SBC that was designed in what would become the EBX form factor.
