For sale are new-made reproductions of the Ohio Scientific 560Z Processor Lab board. These boards were produced from 4000 DPI scans of an original Ohio Scientific 560Z board and are 1:1 with respect to trace and hole placement. They were run on standard thickness FR4 stock, which is thicker than original OSI stock, to reduce the excessive flex experienced with original Ohio Scientific products.
These boards have been scanned and reproduced as part of the Ohio
Scientific Preservation Project. Unfortunately, due to eBay's external links policy, we can't provide direct links to schematics and other information for this board.
The OSI 560Z supports the following features:
The OSI 560Z is an unsual board, even for its day. This board allows the parallel execution of code on either an IM6100 or Z80. The IM6100 is particularly interesting as it uses the PDP-8 instruction set, allowing an OSI system to execute PDP-8 software! We do not currently offer a parts kit for this board.
