Initial Build and Test

[lynchaj]

Hi,
Initial build and test of the 4-slot backplane, Z80 processor, and ROMRAM board are underway. Some findings as expected but no showstoppers. Build and test will continue wringing out the system. PCB respins for Z80 processor and ROMRAM are planned but won't happen for a while as test continues.

Dan has released the DualESP32 which is also under initial build and test. It seems to work fine with only cosmetic updates. Also he had the 8-slot backplane manufactured which is still being built by the team.

Next up is Zilog Peripherals IO and Multi IO boards to wring out the IM2 system and IEI/IEO chains.

Thanks! Andrew Lynch
