I was off by a year. It was the January 1975 issue of PE that had the Altair
8800 on the cover.

The 6800 systems did not use the s-100 bus... the s-100 was a very poorly
designed bus that was wrapped around the 8080 chip, and not general purpose
enough.. Lordy how things have changed since then.
There was also a 6809 based version of their product for a while.
IEEE got involved with the S-100 bus and came up with an enhanced spec for
the S-100 that was released as IEEE-696 (if memory serves). I have a copy of
the IEEE doc somewhere.
