Also true. I'd bet, however, that the number of

twice that of Multibus and STD bus combined, even when taking into
account stuff like Multibus-based Cisco routers and related stuff. I
wonder why that is...is it just a matter of having been developed sooner?
I don't have any experience from which to draw when trying to come up
with a number for the amount of S-100 product out there, but I can say
without hesitation that there is a metric buttload of STD-bus stuff out
there, but only in specific arenas. You can get an STD-bus board (or
boardset) to do pretty much anything you can think of in industrial
control/manufacturing robotics. It's a very popular bus in that arena.
