I was wondering who had uploaded those manuals to archive.org - it didn't seem like something my brother had done!
The uploaded manuals are for the STD bus version of the card, which came out about a year after the S-100 version. Most of the documentation came from the STD bus version as that was a commercial enterprise, unlike the S-100 version which was purely for hobbyists
I haven't powered on my system for over 40 years, so I very much doubt it still works. If I can find some time i'll replace all the electrolytic and tantalum caps, and see what happens
I also have the STD bus version in a home made aluminium case using 5 1/4 FDD, but again it has not been powered up for many years.....
