I had a great time while I was over in Austria and Hungary. The only
computer I saw over there was a Phillips (didn't recognize it) that looked
similar to the C-64. However, at the ARDF Championships, I met a number of
electronics people knew what it was I wanted. One person from Russia (who
just happened to win 3 gold medals at the competition) indicated he might be
able to find some older Russian systems. Another (who designed and built
his own equipment, and also was a past gold medal winner) told me about some
Hungarian S-100 systems that might be available. The language barrier was
something I hadn't really anticipated, but I know now for the next time I
travel overseas!
