Pournelle Compupro has -- in fact I have a copy of -- an 8086/8087 S-100 machine that runs at 8 mhz with the 8087 aboard and 10 if you don't use the 8087. (Obviously you need one of the superfast 8087 chips, not so easy to come by yet, from Intel.) One presumes that the S-100 bus is good up to about 10-12 mHz after which it probably begins to degrade. The last statement is a guess; I gathern tat Godbout's people are still t esting. Add that to the 10 mHz 68000 fylstra reports and you see the IEEE-696 isn't dead yet.
