It wasn’t very long before I had designed and built some protoype boards like these shown here next in the old laboratory setup. Our system boards were the same physical size as the S-100 bus cards used in the Altair, but our electrical bus structure was different. I also designed the physical bus circuit board in two styles one with I think 8 slots and another with 22 slots.
