+===== Introduction =====
+This is the 9-slot S-100 Backplane V4 designed by Josh Bensadon. It is the 4th revision of RBC community S-100 backplane and incorporates lessons learned from other boards.
+Features:
+slot
+Active Termination (copied from V3)
+st slot is spaced 1” from other slots to accommodate IMSAI Style chassis. All other slots are spaced the usual 0.75”
+Mounting holes for ALTAIR and IMSAI chassis. Hole size 0.138” (6-32 screws
+Two power connectors with different pin outs.
+P1 with 0.2” (5.08mm) spacing. Hole Size 0.060”
+P2 with 0.156” spacing. Hole Size 0.065”
+Expansion Connectors with multiple function
+Expansion IN/OUT
+Test point
+Active Termination
+Jumpers to ground some S-100 pins as needed by IEEE-696.
+Pins 20, 53 & 70. (Pin 53 on ALTAIR and IMSAI computers is needed for Front Panel operations and should not be grounded when using these front panels).
+Thick board, approximately 0.100”.
+S-100 connectors require 0.25” row spacing. Hole sized 0.040”.
+Fused power.

+===== Build Information =====
+Josh Bensadon put together an excellent [[https://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:s100:backplanev4:s100_backplane_v4-manual.pdf|User's Manual]] for this board which includes construction notes and a Bill of Materials. The following sections are reproduced from this document.
+==== Construction ====
+The exact bill of materials will vary based on your desired build. You may choose to install less than all nine of the S-100 connectors. Active Termination is also optional with slower speed systems (4MHz or less), but a must have for high speed. Which power connector you choose is also optional and based upon your ultimate chassis design. Perhaps you already have one size or another of the connector and want to use that. With all the variations, the parts given in the BOM are only a single possibility, your build will vary.
+== Capacitors ==
+The voltage rating on capacitors can be higher than shown; this will not affect the performance in any way. If you are ordering all the capacitors, then it is likely to be cheaper to order all the same voltage (say 16V), further, it will eliminate errors when building. Sometimes a capacitor rated at a higher voltage is actually cheaper than a lower rated one of the same capacitance. This can happen when it is more popular to order that higher voltage, hence production increases and cost per unit decreases.
+== Resistors ==
+All resistors are 1/4Watt. Trimmer pot has 3 leads, 0.200” spacing between ends and a middle pin that is 0.100” row offset. Eg. Digikey part number: [[http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/tt-electronics-bi/64WR2KLF/987-1065-ND/|987-1065-ND]]
+== Fuses ==
+These are fast acting Micro Fuses (eg. Digikey Part number: [[http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/littelfuse-inc/0471001.NRT1L/F5580CT-ND/|F5580TR-ND]]). They are optional, you may simply install a jumper wire here if you choose not to use them, or if your power supply already has fused outputs. The exact values of the fuses depend on your S-100 build. Their purpose is to protect the power supply and circuit traces. As a general rule, they should not be higher than the maximum rated current output of your power supply. Here are some reasonable values, but the current demands of the boards you install in your S-100 will ultimately be your best guide. You may also choose to substitute these fuses with PTC type fuses.
+^Fuse  ^Voltage Supply^Rating      ^
+|F1, F4|+8V           |3 to 10 Amps|
+|F3, F5|+16V          |1 Amp       |
+|F2, F6|-16V          |1 Amp       |
+== Expansion Connectors ==
+The Front expansion connectors can be populated with pin headers as test points or used to extend another backplane board. The back expansion connector can be used to extend or terminate the bus as shown below.
+[[https://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:s100:backplanev4:s100_backplane_v4-exp.png|{{boards:s100:backplanev4:s100_backplane_v4-exp.png?500}}]]
+Extending the bus on high speed systems (over 4Mhz) might present a problem as the connectors between two backplanes may cause undesired reflections. It has not been tested but the option is there for your choice to try. No guarantees of performance are given. Perhaps one way to minimize the medium transition is to use PCB mounted ribbon cables (eg. Digikey Part number [[http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1658525-2/1658525-2-ND/|1658525-2-ND]]) instead of pin headers with connectors & ribbon cables.
