Indeed it was worth the browse - I think I have one of these, the larger size
depicted on trailingedge.com (more than 4 slots)... my sister-in-law is a
counter clerk at the Post Office, and one of her regular customers had one
in our neighborhood was looking to find a new home for his old computer.
I don't know how they got on to that topic, but at some point, she gave him
my name and I drove the 4 blocks to his house and loaded up a small pile
of S-100 stuff.  I haven't had the time to look at it, but I'm really happy to
see there's a repository of info.  I don't have any software or XOR-specific
docs, so everything there looks great.

Thanks, Jim, for collating this stuff and making it available.
