[amsat-bb] S100 bus, history

[Gregory Beat]

S-100 bus , new designs, and restorations are alive and well.
Over the past two years, a number of 1970s microcomputer pioneers have passed — including Paul Allen (cancer) and Bill Godbout (Paradise/Camp Fire).

John Monahan hosts the S100 Computers web site.

Thanks.  That's actually far more than I recall.
I was doing LSI-11 stuff at the time, and wasn't impressed by the S100 bus.
