I wish, but it's not. It's more like a much improved version of the
VDP-80 if anything. It doesn't use the same voice-coil drives that were
in the VDP-80, and it has a larger display I believe. It's a different
beast.
But oh yeah, it is an S-100 bus machine! It has an internal card slot
with CPU, drive controller, display, etc., S-100 cards.
