I'm selling off one of the SBC6120 prototypes from VCF 6.0 on eBay

<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2782363270>
&item=2782363270
(I decided that four prototypes was more than anybody could need :-)
This is the one on the far right (sitting on the easel) in the picture
http://www.vintage-computer.com/images/vcf6/sbc6120.jpg
This unit includes the lights and switches front panel, black aluminum
bezel for wall hanging, a 16Mb Compact Flash card for mass storage
(that's the equivalent of eight RK05Js!) and a wall wart style power
supply. It's all ready to plug in; all you need to add is a terminal.
If you haven't heard of it, the SBC6120 is a fully functional PDP-8
clone built with contemporary (more or less!) electronics. The SBC6120
executes the PDP-8/E instruction set, includes a full 32K words of main
memory and KM8E compatible memory management, has a KL8E compatible
interface for an RS232 console terminal, can connect to any IDE/ATA disk
drive, and best of all (as you can see from the pictures!) has a fully
functional lights and switches front panel. The SBC6120 can run all
standard DEC paper tape software, such as FOCAL-69, with no changes.
OS/278, OS/78 and, yes - OS/8 V3D or V3S - can all be booted on the
SBC6120 using an IDE disk drive as mass storage devices.

You know, that is just what I was thinking... they put all this effort
into it and then ruin the whole thing by using hand cranked window shades!
>It looks like these folks are getting ready for Armegeddon in style.
I think they watched "Stripes" too many times.

I have an old Everex laptop. Don't know what model. Has sticker saying the
processor is Intel 32-bit. I purchased it used in 1993 for school and
since then it's just been sitting around the house. Is this something
you'd be interested in or should I just trash it? Don't know if it's worth
anything to anyone. Thanks.

In a fit of madness I bid on that 11/730 government auction. And, now
it appears I've won.
So, how to get a 72"x60"x48" 1000lbs pallet from PA to MA?
I assume the sanest thing is to high a "logistics" firm to truck it to
me. I have access to a loading dock and pallet jacks so I can receive
it in a sane manner.
I am curious if others have done this and if they have and "advice"
(like, "next time take your medication before reading email!" :-)

Any idea what a Unitron mac512 clone from brazil would be worth these days? Someone in a mac forum I belong to is looking for one and they are pretty rare.

That should say "similar thing". I knew there was a difference between
SP380 and N8T380, I just couldn't remember what -- as someone pointed
out, the N8T380 has schmitt inputs.
