*I* could enjoy programming in BASIC on an IBM Portable,
too, if I was sitting in a storage unit filled with the
kind of goodies you've got in *yours*, Sridhar!
With all that iron, ya gotta throw a party sometime soon!

Ok while going through the mass of crap I've collected together and finally
gotten losse from my storage trailer, I came across an Intel math
coprocessor, with gold legs and cap on the "purplish" grey ceramic. On the
pin 1 side you can see a thin gold plate (the chip itself I guess) in the
index spot and on the opposite end it has a rectangle filled with epoxy. It
also has a gold stripe from the center cap to the #1 pin index mark.
Is this worth a crap or am I just disillusioned by the enormous amount that
the 8080a went for on eBay a few weeks ago?

I've been chain-smoking around computers of various sorts for 20 years, and
I've never seen any evidence of smoke-related problems. I prefer that
computers don't smoke around me, however ;>)
OTOH, audio gear seems to be very susceptible to my smoke, and I have to
clean all the switches and pots every three months or so.
