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!
