I guess with an S-100-based system you could always add more
cards, and
somehow or other make it work.
They were RS422 if memory serves. I worked at a computer store
when I was in high school, from 1984 to 1986...we used one of those
Televideo distributed CP/M-ish systems (810?) there, for store
operations/POS/inventory stuff. It worked very well and was
reliable, but it wasn't very fast. Our POS and inventory system was
written in CBASIC-80. It was good stuff.
