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?
