So I have acquired this S-100 bus system and I know nothing about S-100 bus systems but the label on the front reads Sperry and the label on the bottom reads Univac D 60 60.
It has cards in it from an English company called H-TE Ltd. All boards from 1982.
The Tandon drive is broken but trying to fix (the motor controller board is broken) but appart from that seems to be in good condition inside. Measured voltages on the board and got 7.8 for 8V and like +16,50V and -16,30V on the +16 and -16.
But nothing happening.
First question is does anyone ever heard/know of this system ?
Second question is, being a S-100 newby, does a S-100 system always have a CPU board with something like a 8088, Z80 etc ?
Because if so then this system is missing its CPU board.
And last questions would be, could you use any CPU board ? (within reason)
