All,
I'm looking for a Cromemco System Zero, doesn't matter if it's empty or not.
Please contact me off-list if you have one to sell/trade or know of one!
Thanks,
Jonathan

I had no idea they made a System Zero. I have a System One FWIW.

Apparently a lot of folks, even those actively hacking on S-100 stuff, don't know
about the System Zero! I've had a number of folks say as much. It's definitely a
real product, I had a purchase lined up for one a few years ago, but the seller stopped
responding to emails (I suspect someone else came in and bought everything). That seller
had worked on integrating Cromemco hardware for industrial control usage, and had used a
bunch of the System Zero boxes in his time for the purpose. The SCC with 3K Control BASIC
plus whatever additional memory or I/O made for a compact little control box with
industrial strength design, apparently.
Thanks,

While we're on the subject, a lot of folks (including the S100 site)
confuse Cromemco's System 1 (CS-1) with their Z-1; the Z-1 was the rebadged
IMSAI box while the CS-1 and CS-1H System Ones were Cromemco designs.
