The S-100 bus or Altair bus, IEEE 696-1983 (inactive-withdrawn), is an early computer bus designed in 1974 as a part of the Altair 8800. The S-100 bus was the first industry standard expansion bus for the microcomputer industry.

2019年2月1日 · This bus, later dubbed S-100 (for neutrality's sake), became the basis of the first personal computer hardware standard—one that often used Zilog Z80 CPUs and ran Digital Research's CP/M ...

The S-100 bus, IEEE696-1983 (withdrawn), was an early computer bus designed in 1974 as a part of the Altair 8800, generally considered today to be the first personal computer (or at least the first "microcomputer", insofar as it was designed for hobbyists rather than the general public).

2023年11月2日 · Finally, the "IEEE-696" which generally expands and speeds up the S-100 bus. However, in general discussion all three "versions" are collectively called "the S-100 bus". This Web document walks through the three bus variations and some history of their development.

2024年5月15日 · S-100 and IEEE-696 systems are computers from 1975 and through the 1980's which have a specific kind of 100-pin computer "bus" for their cards. For many years I've provided assistance, hardware, and photocopied documentation for S-100 computer systems.

Different manufactures offered unique boards, but by-and-large they all worked together in an S-100 bus system. The S-100 bus was designed initially for 8 bit CPU's. It became very popular. It later evolved into a bus for 16 bit CPU's and finally was approved by the IEEE as the IEEE-696 bus. Updated information on V2 of the E-PROM Board.

what is the S-100 bus. MITS introduced the original version of it on their Altair 8800 micro-computer system, revised it for the 8800b system and then developed an

The term "S-100 bus" refers to the bus architecture of the MITS Altair 8800 computer of January 1975, and subsequent variations of bus-compatible computers of the 1970's, 80's and beyond. It often includes the IEEE-696 standard based on that bus.

The S-100 bus, IEEE696-1983 (withdrawn), was an early computer bus designed in 1974 as a part of the Altair 8800, generally considered today to be the first personal computer (or at least the first "microcomputer", insofar as it was designed for hobbyists rather than the general public).

The bus, originally called the Altair bus and later renamed the S-100 bus, allowed users to add memory and peripherals and became the common architecture for many early PC systems. By the early 1980s, there were 200,000 S-100 systems in operation, with nearly 100 manufacturers offering hundreds of compatible plug-in boards.
