Thanks for the good ideas. I don't recall any
S-100 with the regulators
at opposite corners, but then they did make a lot of designs back then.
The ones I own have them situated on the same edge.
I've got photos of a good number of S-100 boards on my site which may be
useful as a reference. Click on the "S-100" title of the S-100 machine
section, or look at any specific machine and click on the installed boards.
There are a few which have regulators in opposite corners (SSM CB processors
for example), and a few which have refulators on opposite ends at the top
(eg: Cromemco System support), but most boards have the regulators clustered
together. What I find interesting is the number of boards where the regulators
are positioned away from the end with the power supplies, with traces running
around the outer edge of the board to carry unregulated power.
