Solid State Music SB1 Music Synthesizer Board

From the SSM SB1 manual: "The Synthesizer Board (SB1) is a waveform generator card designed to interface with any computer that supports the S-100 bus and its signals."

I have six of these SB1 cards two (2) of them working to specification. I'd like to acquire two (2) more for a full compliment to play all channels in real time.

Wanted to make some proper connector cables for the boards. With the help of some folks on the N8VEM-S100 google groups I was able to find some likely candidates for the connectors and order them up from Digi-Key.

It's not pretty (yet) but this schematic is legible. Score! I got one more for a total of three working to specifications. (6/14/2015) Might want to ask some questions so a one page schematic will be easier to read.
