Marvin,
It looks like the cards for this one are 11" wide and about 6 1/2" deep.
The fingers should be about 6 1/4" wide and are 1/2" from the left side. I
don't think you're card will fit this. The card is marked "Assy No.
991632-0001" and (in big letters) "TM 990/520".

RATS! I think you're right! I just brought it in and checked. The slots
are wider than S-100 and the card sockets are offset to one side so S-100
cards hit one edge and won't go in. It also has a switcher power supply so
it is regulated off the cards. Too bad, it is really a nice box. I may
modify it back to S-100. Anyway what can you expect for $3?
I am just curious what the size of the slots are. I have a couple of cards
that I thought were S-100 when I got them, but they are a bit narrower than
an S-100 card, and the fingers are wider. The dimensions of these cards are
8 3/4 " wide, 4 1/2 " high (excluding fingers), 7 5/8" finger width with
5/8" to the edge of the card on left side (component side up) and 1/2" to
the edge of the board on the right. The one I just grabbed says "638493
Digital Timer" on the solder side of the board.
