Pricing on an 11/93 is likely to be outrageous, be
warned. The CPU
board alone is worth a small fortune now. Unless you're willing to
shell out serious coin, you might be better off setting your sights on
an 11/73. Very nearly as capable, and much more affordable.

That's what I'd been told! What's "outrageous"? Several hundred?
Several thousand? Have you seen any sell
lately?
I'm definitely up for some assembly from parts, so I'd be good with acquiring a
BA23 pedestal and upgrading the CPU
board later if I could find one. Problem is that sort of thing rarely shows up on eBay,
which is why I've been asking
around on a few forums...
Do more than a few hobbyists have 11/93's or 11/73's, or are those fairly uncommon
machines?
The 11/73 is the one that's got the 15MHz CPU and accesses memory across the QBus,
right?
Thanks!
