Message-ID: <556@bbncca.ARPA> Date: Thu, 9-Feb-84 00:31:43 EST Article-I.D.: bbncca.556 Posted: Thu Feb 9 00:31:43 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Feb-84 23:54:43 EST Organization: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Cambridge, Ma. Lines: 13 Does anyone know whether the H-100 S-100-based micro can accept additional CPU boards? I don't know a whole lot about the S-100 bus, but I do know that certain S-100 systems can allocate the bus to other "bus masters" like additional CPUs or DMA controllers. Thus, it might be possible to boot up under the 8088 and then transfer control to another, more powerful CPU on a separate board, like a 186 or 286 (or whatever you like.) Is this possible with the Z/H-100 architecture? -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
