someone having some S100 PCBs for it.

Yeah, the posts regarding the 4500 & S-100 is the system I'm referring to 
- the guy doing the restoration has posted pics on the vcf forum about it. 
We're both trying to find docs for it, or even a sales brochure that 
talked about it.

The smcc manual is from 1966...  S100 was  first seen as the MITS altair

I'm trying to find out more information about a Digiac 4500  S-100 bus 
system that will eventually be coming my way.  The machine  was originally 
obtained through an estate sale and all the docs were  thrown out. :(

It appears to be some kind of computer system trainer,  but information on 
the 'net is VERY scarce.  In fact, the only time  I've found "Digiac 4500" 
_anywhere_ is where it's listed as having  software support in an ad for a 
robot  arm.

Thanks!
