S-200 MPU

The S-200 MPU board is compatible with Stern MPU (Stern 200) built between 1979 and 1982.

It uses classical IC components with no-proprietary chips.

The board remains very faithful to the original one. Obsolete or fragile components have been replaced by more reliable components while keeping the same behaviour. There is no emulation or proprietary component, this board can be repaired in the same way as the original one.
