Hi
This may not even be a s100 board. The height is wrong. Check
the power leads carefully before plugging into a s100. It
does seem to be a complete single board computer.

I recently acquired this board, it appears to be an S100 board, since
it has the 100 pin connector and voltage regulators onboard. Does
anyone know what this is, or what it came from? In the upper right
corner, it says "Dynatech NEWSTAR 1MP481 REV. A (C) 1990" The board has
a Z80, a 27128 EPROM, an 8k static RAM, some 41c256 DRAMS, a Z80 SIO,
some RS-232 line driver pairs (1488/1489), and two 26 pin headers,
which appear to be serial ports.
Here is a picture I took:

It appears to be a complete Z80 computer on a board, so I would imagine
that it would be possible to power it up, and connect a terminal to it,
but I don't know if it would do anything. Any information on what this
could be, or what it might do would be appreciated.
Thanks!
