If you can give me some guidance as to numbers, etc of the devices you're
after, or for that matter, what you don't want, I'll make sure you don't
end up with something you don't want.
I have to go back there because my better half likes to visit the place and
hasn't finished her search.

this
mean anything
to anyone? IF someone wants them, I could snag them and
ship. I doubt they will cost much more than $10 each.
They are multi-user CP/M (or MP/M) machines circa 1982-1986, mentioned
here from time to time (we really need a comprehensive database that
describes these machines so that people can reference the database before
posting about the same stuff over and over). Having nothing to do with Alto, they are worth anywhere from free to whatever
someone would be
willing to pay (which may surprise/shock you).
