I wondered if anyone could help with info on the cards I found inside. The first is clearly a memory card but not familiar with the company. The second is a disk controller and the third is a parallel/rs232 interface. I haven't found any doc on any of them yet. If you have doc or info on the cards or anything else about the expansion box please let me know. Haven't tested or done any more with it yet other than open it up and look around inside. Had this for ages but only now had room to take it out of the box.

I take it you haven't found s100computers.com.

Info for the Compupro Interfaceer II is readily available there, with scan of original manual with schematic.

Mem Merch 64K and Jade FDC are listed there as well, I haven't looked below the link level for them though.

There used to be another S100 site under maben-something but it seems to have vanished.
It was a lot of duplicate with S100computers but had some additional stuff.
