I bought one at Salvation Army for $10. They thought it was a sewing machine
:)
Works great, comes with 20GB MFM hard drive. A bit non-stock, but still
cool.
I'm going to see if Minix will run on it, with an Etherlink I network card
:)

starting price is kinda high ($50)
Although he says that it works, but that he doesn't know
what ports it has, if you go to the picture of the expansion
you'll see Compaq CGA, Compaq parallel, non-Compaq parallel
(Compaq uses different hold down screw, but permits 5150 style)
and a non-Compaq serial port (probably 8250) rattling around,
not plugged in at all!
