And for those of us that want overkill I found this
1 x 350 Watt, Single Output, SE-350-7.5 from Mean Well (SE-350-7.5) = $48.29
http://www.powergatellc.com/mean-well-se-350-75-power-supply.html
Output(s) 7.5V @ 46.00A
Power 350 Watts
Dimensions 8.46 x 4.53 x 1.97"
Operational Efficiency 80.00%
Operating Temperature -20-60�C
Total with shipping was around $62 so not bad.

Paul, 12A on the 7.5V may be a little on the low side unless you are just
sticking to 8 bits. The 16 bit CPU boards have 3A regulators and if you
have a dual (or more) CPU master slave setup, things could get tight. Agree
20A's is probably best. The 16 V lines are really only used for RS232 etc.
these days and even there, there are converter chips. So 1-2 A is fine.

While John has some great information on his backplane/ps page
(http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/The%20Box/The%20Box.htm#The_Po
wer_Supply),
one point that is missing is the proper power supply sizing for an 8-slot
system.
The IEEE 696:1983 spec is silent on the allowed/anticipated ps-loading per
slot, but it seems reasonable to assume 1 A to maybe 1.5 A average per slot
on the 8V rail, max (most cards hosting a single 1A +5V regulator, with the
occasional dual-regulator configuration like the dual-IDE card)? That
suggests maybe 12A on the 8V rail, and we might guess 1-2A max on the +16
and -16V rails (since these aren't used much at all on modern cards)?
Am I way off-base here?
FWIW, here are what appear to be the most relevant Meanwell supplies (via
Power Factor, as pointed out by John) -- all of which can have their output
voltages adjusted upwards a bit to fit the 8 and 16 volt
bus-targets:
http://www.power-factor-1st.com/g2-series/s-100f.html 7.5V, 0~13.5A $49.45
http://www.power-factor-1st.com/g2-series/s-150.html 7.5V, 0~20A $55.45
http://www.power-factor-1st.com/g2-series/s-210.html 7.5V, 0~27A $70.95
http://www.power-factor-1st.com/g2-series/s-40.html 15V, 0~2.8A $37.90
The 20A (second line) seems to be the cost-effective sweet-spot "with
headroom".
Happy hunting :->.

Hi! I�ve gotten a request for some help with the S-100 backplane PCB.
Since it will probably require a PCB respin to fix I would like to
gather up all the feedback and incorporate them as best I can. Thanks
to Don Caprio there are some excellent builder instructions here:
http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/page/35158565/Build%20Instructions
Please post photos of your completed working S-100 backplane systems
on the wiki in the S-100 backplane folder. Actual builder photos are
*very* helpful for new builders.
http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder¶m=S-100%20b
ackplane
There is a new file for S-100 backplane fixes and improvements here:
http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/page/55620344/S-100%20backplane%20impro
vements%20and%20fixes
Please edit with any issues you�ve encountered on how to fix and/or
improve the S-100 backplane.
The photos that are in the folder at the moment are getting rather
dated so they should be retired to the archive as to not confuse any new
builders.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Andrew Lynch
