All the information you need is on the web site. The price is a ripoff if you
don't want what they're selling. It's certainly not an investment. Read the
web site details regarding their "series-2" product. There is essentially no
compatibility with the old "real" S-100 at all, by design, as they use a
regulated power supply rather than the S-100 standard on-board regulation.
I've yet to hear from anyone to whom one has been delivered. I'd look long and
hard for someone who's bought one and actually had it delivered, then ask the
relevant questions of them. I personally wouldn't want one. After all, it's
not a classic. When I read that they're using a regulated supply and so on ...
I simply decided I didn't want or need one. I still have S-100 hardware from
back in the '80's that has yet to be powered up.
