S-100 Bus
When I was young, my friends all worked like fools to get their share Of an S-100 system, like an Imsai or Altair; Well the S-100's still around, I'm very glad to say But friends, I'm here to tell you that it's not the same today.
chorus: And it's cheer up, my lads, let your hearts never fuss When you're integrating systems for the S-100 bus.
To tell the truth, the source of all our troubles seems to be A committee on computers of the I of triple E; They settled on a standard spec, 696 by name Now everything is standardized, but nothing works the same.
They say the 80 boards are way too slow - it's enough to give you fits If the 09 isn't fast enough, then go to 16 bits. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 68 and z8000 and an 86 as well, And code compatability goes straight to bloody hell
Then add a board for the modem line and one for every port and a printer board and a keyboard board, and as a last resort For every problem we will add a board that has the cure, It's not too damned efficient, but it's a mother, that's for sure.
And when it's all assembled there's computer to your collar, It's nice to have a micro but a mainframe would be smaller. And when they turn the power on, it's sure to dim the lamps With plus or minus sixteen volts and fourteen hundred amps.
