IEEE-696 / S-100 Bus Documentation and Manuals Archive

If you have any S-100-related manuals not listed on this page, I am interested in obtaining a copy so that I can scan it and post it on this web page.  If you can provide a copy/scan, please email me at: hharte@hartetec.com.  You may upload electronic versions of the manuals to: ftp://ftp.hartetec.com/pub/incoming.  This is a blind upload directory, so no files will show up in the directory listing.  I prefer scans in TIFF, DCX, or PDF formats.  JPEG usually does not produce optimal results for monochrome images.

NOTE: if you sent me copies of manuals that I posted to this web site, and you want credit (ie, your name mentioned) in the listings below, please email me.  Up until now, I have left off the names of contributors to protect their privacy.  This will be the default listing method unless you tell me otherwise.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this archive.  The collection has grown to over 1.4GB in PDF format, and well over 6GB in raw DCX/TIFF image format.  If you would like the raw scans for cleanup/OCR purposes, please email me. 

You may freely mirror this site under the following conditions:

1.  Acknowledge the existence of this site (a link is sufficient)

2.  Notify me of any electronic-format S-100-related manuals that I don't have listed.

WANTED:

I am particularly looking for the following manuals:

• Teletek Systemaster Rev 3 Manual and Schematics

• Teletek Systemaster II Schematics

• AB Digital Design Labs B810 RAM

• CCS 2820 CPU Board Manual

• CCS 2-Serial/2-Parallel Card Manual

• Cromemco [2716] 32K Bytesaver
• Digital Systems Bus Interface HB-1.2 (or 1.4) Floppy Disk Controller Manual

• DIGITEX Systems Manuals.

• DUAL Systems Manuals not listed.

• Dutronics 8KMB 8K RAM Manual

• Dynabyte 32K Fully Static RAM Module

• Dynabyte 16K Dynamic RAM Module

• "Encyclopedia Processor Technica" [aka "EPT"] - all vols. Except #9 [This was a 12-volume encyclopedia of all internal documentation and service data published 3 years after Processor Technology went out of business] [There is some question as to whether volume 12 was ever actually published]

• Ithaca Audio 1010 CPU Board

• NNC ("No-Name Computers") Manuals

• OSM Computer Corp Z80 CPU "CPU/64K" Board

• Processor Technology 3P+S Schematic

• Does anybody, by any chance, have a copy of the Processor Technology "Simu-cisor" program (aka "SIMU"), distributed on audio cassette tape? It is a program for testing a Persci drive that simulated the Persci factory drive exerciser hardware using a PT Helios disk controller. This was only a dealer/service center item, it was not normally distributed to end-users.  If anyone has this, please contact Barry Watzman at Watzman@neo.rr.com.  It will be archived on this site as an MP3 or WAV file to facilitate reproducing a copy of the original tape.
