SBC's ARE a category of computer sold mostly from 75-85 not a vague way to categorize computers that happen to have one main board. Back then there was no debate as to the definition of which computers were and were not the SBC's.
I posted a specific example of a magazine dedicated specifically to the SBC market. There is no mention of Apples or Tandy model 1's or any other computers that happen to be of one board, or computers that were kits, etc. There are other mags that had regular SBC columns/features. This was a very narrow and specific genre. From the posts associated with this thread clearly the "classic SBC computer" as it was known at the turn of the 80's has been partially forgotten.
Whether this board needs an SBC forum is another matter, but if this is ever implemented, the forum title, as I envision it would therefore be:
Single Board Computers (KIM, AIM, SYM, OSI, Elf, and other 6502/1801 SBC's)
