I really regret opening that other thread in the CP/M forum instead of the S-100 section, I blame some combination of temporary blindness/insanity.
At least you didn't post in the Commodore section, I have heard those Amiga Users can get "pretty angry".
Congratulations on your acquisition, your unit is indeed a lot more "stuffed" than mine is.
Thanks!! Pure Luck, no one else could Local Pick-Up, and I wasn't in a position to make an offer, but was able to get my Girlfriend to pay for the Gas and use her car..
There are Three Apple Boxes with parts.. Two are FULL of Binders with Documentation and a few Disks... The Third hold the Case-less Keyboard and the 60 Plus Disks and the Loose S100 Cards with no Static Bags.. I can't locate a key for the Disk Box... No Idea whats inside it, yet...
Mine just adds up to a basic 56k CP/M configuration with serial terminal, have you started inventory of the boards in yours yet?
A Basic System will let you do quite a few things...
This one appears to have been owned by a Business with Multiple User.
I haven't pulled any cards, yet...
There are 8 Cards in the Chassis..
( How are the Slots Numbered?? Back to Front or Front to Back or something else? I'm new to S100 Systems, so I don't know where the various Sub Systems are or what they entail )
The closest card to the back has 5, ( 4 are connected to the Back of the Chassis, one is loose ), all DB-25 Connectors.
I am "assuming" they are RS-232 Serial??
The Second closest card to the Back is the "Micro Diversions, Inc Screen Splitter REV A" It's connected to a BNC Connector on the Back of the Chassis.
The Third Closest card to the back seems to be the Floppy Disk Controller. I have the cable for it.
The Fourth Card, from the Back, "might" be the CPU Card.. None of the others look like the have a CPU..
Back Four Cards
The Fifth Card from the Back is a Graphic Card, called the "Micro Angelo", from SCION Corporation, also connects to a BNC connector.
The Sixth Card from the Back looks like a RAM Card.
The Seventh Card from the Back, Not Sure, yet.. I don't think it's a CPU Card.
The Eighth Card from the Back, Clock Card with the 9 VDC Battery... ( A few specks of Corrosion on the Terminals, no where else... )
Front Four Cards
I'm particularly interested in the keyboards it looks like it came with, did you get a video display/terminal card in there?
I can't locate the Green Key, Keyboard, It might have been left in my Girlfriend's car..
The Keyboard with the Wood Frame, looks to be a Cherry, I have some Sales Literature for one.. Also, it has a DA-15 Connector... So it "plugs" into the Backplane to act as the Console??
The Keyboard with the Metal Case has a DB-25, I assume it connects to one of the DB-25 Plus on the Back of the Chassis.
I am thinking at least one Video Card, ( the "Micro Angelo" ) and the Screen Splitter might be as well..
