Summary: 


S100 = IEEE-696 Standard. I don't have the address of the IEEE handy, but you
should be able to get it. Yes, the data bus changes definition for 16 bit
transfers. Normally there is an 8 bit write and 8 bit read bus (allowing TMA
bidirectionally if supported), but when the SIXTN (pin 60) is active, the data
bus becomes a unidirectional 16 bit bus.
