[comp.os.cpm] Surplus-ed Boards

Hello All --

I stumbled onto some S-100 cards last weekend that I'm very curious about,
and wonder if any cp/mer's might know about them.  First, an "Advanced
Digital" super six.  It looks like a complete CPU on a card.  128k DRAM,
floppy controller, two (?) serial ports, and a parallel port.  Of course there
is no documentation.  Anybody know about these things??  Are they worth
trying to get running (forgot to mention that it's a 6 MHz Z-80).  Are
there any sources of dox??  Also snagged an old 64K static ram card
(George Morrow) with 32 2K SRAM chips (very useful), but right in the
middle of these guys is a "82S100".  What is that ... a memory manager
of some sort??, PAL??  Anybody know??

Good score.  I don't know anything about those tho, sorry.  But I used to work
at the lab there, and there was a company down Vasco Road south of East Ave.
The guy who was VP (or?) left the Instrument shop at the lab to do S100 there
and then returned to the shop (?) before I left myself.  You might want to go
into the instrument shop & ask for him.  Unfortunately, I can't remember his
name.  You can give Gary Michalak a call & he might point you in the right
direction, regardless.  He's a pretty cluey bloke.  You can find him in the
directory. . .  Tell him hello from Big Ronn.

It's an old Signetics PROM, call Eric Davis in the CAMAC Test Facility for more
poop on it.  Tell him "Stomey" sent you!  (please) :-)
