While we are discussing S100 does anybody have a handle on where I
could obtain 5 S100 edge connector sockets? They seem to be
unobtainable (or I am looking in the wrong places).
Also, I noticed an eBay auction here in Oz (don't have the number
handy. Search for Microbee) that has a DG640 video card and CPU and
memory going for an Obscene amount. Hmmm. Would have loved that one

Hi! Is there any sort of a standard for S-100
backplane spacing?
I measured a couple of backplanes I have (a VG and another one) and
they
both measured .375" (3/8") gap between the connectors. That seems
rather
closely spaced to me if the boards are 3/4" apart if the connectors
are 3/8"
wide themselves.
What would be the minimum useful gap between S-100 connectors for a
small
hobbyist S-100 backplane? I presume 3/8" gap is not enough if you
want to
accept prototype boards with wire wrap sockets and maintain some
clearance.
Any constructive thoughts on the subject much appreciated.
Thanks and have a nice day!
