Well the whole S-100 bus was a mess for the longest time.

As reminder IMSAI is back in business at http://www.imsai.net/
Here you can get parts for your classic 8080 computer or
a new 20MHZ Z80 S-100 bus computer for around $1K. Why pay $2k
for a 2 MHZ 8080 when you can get a 20 MHZ version for half the
price. :)
