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 create a seperate Web page for them, and the link is given below. Also check my S-100 Home page for a similar list of manufacturers ONLY. Also look at my undocumented S-100 brand list.
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. It links back here for brands without a Web page on my site. 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.

(Note: The Scion pallete card was an additional S100 card that
allowed up to eight MA512 cards to be connected to it via a top ribbon cable.
The eight MA512 became eight planes, and the pallete allowed you to set up any colour with an LUT,
to drive three DACs, for RGB output. Without the pallete,
you used one MA 512 card for monochrome, or three MA512 cards for RGB with fixed colours.)
