Cromemco was probably the last S-100 hold out. I remember them having significant advertising space in Byte magazine right up to the end of the S-100 era. The were some high hopes, mostly the hope that microcomputer class hardware could be sold at near minicomputer class prices. But it was not to be. And it wasn't too many more years until most minicomputer makers themselves were just footnotes in the bigger history.
