They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

I have a NOS SwTPc 6800 MP-A CPU board. This was
the first SS-50
6800 CPU available, and only the second 6800 CPU board of any stripe
available from anyone AFAIK (Moto was first, of course).
Here's the wrinkle: It's an unbuilt, BARE board. Given the somewhat
historic nature of this article, what would you do? Build it as
originally designed (most of the parts are still available), or
leave the board blank, as is?
If you're going to use it, build it. If not, keep it around for show
until you truly need it. Then build it.
