Other S-100 and Vintage Computer Web Sites On The Web
There are now many interesting S-100 and Vintage Computer web sites on the web. A number are maintained by individuals to share information with fellow computer owners or people simply interested in these computers.

I have put together a list of web sites I have come across and found useful. If you have seen other sites worthy of mention or would like to have your site mentioned please let me know.  Note: They are in no particular order here.
  
Reterotechnology Web Site   http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/s100.html

This is a very well known site run by Herb Johnson. The site is text based but contains a wealth of information.  Herb probably has the largest supply of S-100 manuals of anybody in the world. He sells them for a small fee. If it's not there you are in trouble! He also sells some hardware including new versions of the Versafloppy II floppy disk controller.
   
Altair kit Web Site   http://www.altairkit.com/diffcompare.html

This is a web site run by Grant Stockly dedicated to the Altair 8080. ( What grant and his colleagues have done is gone back and remade the original Altair boards and computer box.  The workmanship is 2009 grade as opposed to what was available back in 1976. Nevertheless they have reproduced the S-100 boards exactly as they were intended. He has an active forum on this and related topics at http://www.stockly.com/forums



     
Vintage Computing   http://deramp.com/

This is a relatively new web site for S100 computers maintained by Mike Douglas.  The site focuses on early personal computers from the mid 70s into the early 80s. Here you'll find resources for restoring and maintaining many of the great computers and peripherals from this era.  A fantastic source of information for some of the very early S100 systems.
     
Daves Old Computers Web Site   http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield

Again a plain looking web site but a wealth of information. Dave Dunfield has put together a vast collection of information about vintage computers. S-100 computers are just one section. While only a dozen or so S100 companies are represented there is some great reading there about the history of the early S-100 days.
     
Harte Technologies   http://www.hartetechnologies.com/manuals/
