There's a fair amount of documentation the corresponding software to which,
sadly, had to be tossed with the other 50K or so 8" diskettes I have
ditched over the past year. I'll list that later, but here are some
additions to the S-100 hardware list. Subsequent versions of this list
will appear similarly updated, i.e. new additions separately, but the
complete previous listing integrated.
additional S-100 items as of 19:20 on 2/20/99
Industrial Micro Systems Z80A CPU Board - no provision for a PROM
Industrial Micro Systems 64K DRAM board
Industrial Micro Systems I/O card with two UARTS, 1 8255 PIA, 1 8253 TIMER,
PROM designated SA1000
{BTW - there's also an 8" hard disk with an SA1000-compatible controller on
it, propbably compatible with the above.}
JADE Memory Bank 64K DRAM board
PICEON 64K DRAM board
SD SYSTEMS SBC 100 CPU Board
SD SYSTEMS SBC 200 CPU Board
SD SYSTEMS Expandoram 64K DRAM Board
SD SYSTEMS Expandoram II 64K DRAM Board
SD SYSTEMS Expandoram II 64K DRAM Board
Solid State Music VB1B video board - missing crystal
TEI I/O Board with 8253 timer, 3 8251's, 1 8255
Morrow Thinker Toys "Switchboard" Serial/Parallel I/O board - with doc's
Cromemco D + 7A analog and digital I/O board with doc's
in addition to the S-100 stuff, there are numerous 4-and 9-slot Multibus I
cardcages and several memory boards, floppy and hard disk interface cards,
and a few iSBC's I don't intend to keep.
for the Apple-][ lovers, there are a couple of complete computers and a
number of cards not yet listed but soon to come. There's also a fair
amount of software, mostly for the ][+ with the Z80 card, including, I
believe, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL-1, BASIC, BASCOM, among others, based on the
documentation I've found.

Here's the list of S-100 hardware I've turned up in the last mess of
boxes,
etc to be unearthed in my basement and transferred to
open air storage in
my carport. This is only a partial list of what I've uncovered this
afternoon, and an extended list will be available later today.
There is other stuff, not yet inventoried, but that will be later, if at
all.
Cromemco 21-slot unterminated Motherboard in VECTOR cardcage - assembled
but never used.
MSC (later became XEBEC) 9391 5Mbps HARD DISK controller. This
controller
is functional and capable of handling 16 or fewer
heads at 512-byte or
256-byte sector sizes and steps the drive at 3ms per step, which was
typical back in 1980. This was the one we used most. Some docs
available
XCOMP HDC 2-board set. These are set up for 8" drives only and require
one
write the BIOS patch or back end driver oneself.
Franklin Electric 3-UART serial I/O board
DC Hayes Micromodem-100 including documentation and software
SSM IO4 2P+2S I/O Board with documentation. No software was provided
since
everyone wrote their own BIOS patches for it.
North Star Z80A CPU card
California Computer Systems 2810 Z80A CPU card, with monitor prom.
California Computer Systems 2422 FDC for both 8 & 5.25" drives, with
monitor/boot prom
California Computer Systems 4-port serial card.
California Computer Systems 64K DRAM card
Vector Graphics 64K DRAM card
Extended Processing "BURNER, I/O" board - Prom Programmer with UARTS and
PIO not installed.
Processor Technology "CUTS" cassette interface? board
BIOTECH ELECTRONICS BCT800 graphics board - uses AMI 68047 chip and 12
2114's
to produce 256x192 graphics and text.
Cromemco Dazzler video graphics board pair - There are two, but only one
set of
doc's and software including paper tape.
MITS Modem board - a MITS serial board with a "MODEM BD" rider.
