Miscellaneous S-100 Documentation List

This page last updated May 01 2008.

To email me, see see my ordering Web page for my email addresses.

This page lists my S-100 manuals for manufacturers for which I have only a handful of manuals. If I have many more for a particular manufacturer, I've created a seperate Web page for that manufacturer and the link to that page is given below.

The manuals listed below are primarily for S-100 equipment, but some manuals for related equipment (terminals, printers) are also listed below. Disk drive manuals are listed in my floppy disk drives section. If you don't see what you are looking for, ask! If you have a document I do not have, please let me know!

Also check my S-100 Home page for a similar list of manufacturer's names only, with links to my specific lists as below. Also look through my Cromemco lists as they include many "third party" manuals for printers, drives, etc. And, check our S-100 and related books section for books related to these and similar computers of the '70's and '80's.

To contact me about manuals, or to get ordering and price information, follow this link.

    A. Szerlip's "PROMSetter" (TPS100) card, from 1977. 144 pgs
       includes schematics, operational details, even how to solder!
       read/write 1702's, 2708, some other PROMS.
       (Our thanks to Mr. Szerlip for providing this manual.)
       This card primarily supports reading and WRITING 1702's and 2708's. It
       has a 50-pin edge connector from which you connect a cable to a 1702 adapter
       board or a 2708 adapter board. It uses 30 transistors and as many diodes.
       Software is operated from an IMSAI/Altair front panel.
       Section I (4 pgs) is general info about the card.
       Section II (31 pgs) is assembly instructions, parts list, and test as you build.
       Section III (22 pgs) is to build additional adapters for TI or Intel 2716,
          National 5204, AMI S5204, AMI 6834.
       Section IV (13 pgs) is theory of operation.
       Section V (6 pbs) is troubleshooting.
