I do wonder if there is room for a solution like the S-100 bus these days. That is perhaps the one thing that irks me about todays computers, that the motherboard is dictated by the CPU socket soldered on.
- mark-r 10y agoThe capabilities built into today's chip sets and motherboards is just insane. This weekend was the first time I plugged a board into a PC in over 10 years, to add USB 3.0 to a system too old to have had it already. The last PC I put together was based on a mini-ITX motherboard, simply because I knew from experience that I wouldn't need anything more expandable than that.
- rbanffy 10y agoI don't think it'd be easy considering the speeds you expect from the various buses. You could put everything on a PCIe card and let it drive a backplane through a specialized connector, but that wouldn't be like S-100. A couple weeks back I was thinking about building a backplane that would allow a bunch of BBC Microbits to cooperate. That, too, would not be like an S-100 bus.
