I have started putting together a web site completely focused on vintage S100 computers with a strong
focus on hardware. It's at www.S100Computers.com. I started it just a few months ago and clearly have a long way to go. This is strictly a hobby.
I think there is a need for a good central place that describes the different S-100 boards that anybody can quickly go to with good images and details/manuals about each board. As you might expect this is going to take a lot of time to do. I am allowing myself 2+ years! There are some other excellent sites but they are not consistant in
having everything in one place or having an extensive collection of images/manuals for all boards/manufacturers.
Anyway, I am working my way through the different companies doing the common/easy ones first. For each company I have tried to add a little history about the company.
One company, Industrial Micro Systems located in Orange,CA back in the early 1980's had a number of good S-100 boards. However I am drawing a complete blank about the history of the company or its founders.
Does anybody out there know about them. and/ot what happened to them.
PS. A few of the images I have so far on the site are not great. If you see a poor image of an S-100 board on the site and you have a better one please let me know. Also I am still looking for some manuals -- also indicated on the site.
