Now, if it was a 80C187, the price would be about right.
You guys wouldn't happen to have one of those in working
condition sitting about would you?

Since my previous posting, I've been convinced to drive to Detroit and
back instead of flying, so we'll be passing through the above cities and
probably spending a day and night in each one. Any pointers to good stuff
to do/see in or around any of them or the surrounding areas in terms of
techie stuff, old computer stuff, technology surplus stores, museums,
robotics, shows, vegetarian restaurants, etc. would be very much
appreciated. Leaving this Thursday AM. Thanks!
See below. Frederick has an RL02 available, apparently for free. Contact
Frederick to arrange for a pick-up.

Hello,
I just caught the promo/info segment on "The ScreenSavers." Very
interesting stuff.
We have a Digital RL02 system w/ dual 14" removable disk packs.
We also have more than a few spare 14" 10MB disk packs kicking around. We
actually used it until Sept. 1999. It ran a LoadSTAR auto parts POS system
in Northern New York State, and was purchased by us in 1981. LoadSTAR, a
New Jersey company, was recently acquired by CCI/Triad, now Activant.
Is this anything that you might be interested in? Or do you
know of anyone? As one who has come to terms with his "Geek Factor," I
can't bring myself to just tossing the thing out, but.it is the size of a
refrigerator, and that's not really a good thing for me at this time.
Regards,

Hi
As some of you know, I have a working sim-4 board and
a '73 MCS-4 manual. I have one of the data sheets
like the Smithsonian has for the 8008 as well.
When I was at Intel, I made a simple ice like unit that
we used to test the 4040 boards use in the PROM programmers.
The 4040 is almost the same as the 4004 except a couple
added instructions and twice the memory banks.
If someone wants to scan them, I have a set of copies I
made from my manual. Becides the general information, it
includes schematics for the sim-4 and the 1702A programmer
card. I also have the code that goes on the sim-4. I've
disassembled this as well for anyone that is interested.
