The N8VEM group is a wonderful effort.  They have a family of high-quality 
designs for S-100 bus systems and have branched into a number of 
interesting side-projects such as the one you describe.

Andrew, their head-honcho, makes Gerber files for the boards available and 
offers the bare boards for sale.
