This is a restoration program for MARCH for a Dynabyte S-100 system, not to be confused with the Dynabook prototype laptop from Xerox.
 The Dynabyte DB8/1 was an early 80's S-100 system that employed the IEEE 696 standard. Click image for larger view.
So far the system has been partially disassembled. The controller cards have been visually inspected (1800002-4A CPU, 64K dynamic RAM Dual Drive Controller). The card connectors have been cleaned, the entire chassis has been vacuumed clear of dust.  The Dynabyte DB8/4-2 8" dual disk drive had Remex RFD4000 disk drives. Click image for larger view.
