There are certainly many still running in such applications (just as
there are still many PDP-8s, PDP-11s, Novas, and such), but I don't
think any *new* S-100 machines have been manufactured and sold into these
applications in the last five years. In the early-to-mid '80s, all
of the industrial applications that wanted general-purpose computers
(rather than dedicated embedded controllers) started switching over to
PCs.
