S-100 power supply voltage ranges - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

As a matter of fact Cromemco's later systems easily ran 68020s at 16.7 MHz on 
their S-100 / IEEE696 bus backplanes.

CompuPro and Cromenco were state of the ART IEEE 696.
The back place was supposed to be able to handle higher than a wopping 10MHz

  But, . . .
 would the standard, even early versions, such as presented by George
 Morrow and Howard Fullme at the West Coast Computer Faire, really embody
 the SPIRIT of S100 without at least a few non-standard signals? 
Heh.  Was it the SOL-20 that tied the Data In and Data Out lines 
together?

Would you consider the late Godbout/Compupro boxes to be the height 
of S-100 development?
