Yep! I want one!!! ;)
On the real front I'm looking for the TI9900 (cpu chip) based stuff.
They are a bit lighter.
Check out the Fluke equipment including the Fluke 1722A GP-IB Instrument
Controller. Fluke used the 9900 in a lot of their stuff. The 1722 is
similar to the HP 9915 and Tektronix 4041 and uses the 9900 CPU. I have a
complete set of docs for it if you find one. I think I have the DOS disk
for it as well.
I have raw 9900 chips but TI made both a system and board level
products using that CPU. The tek and fluke equipment I know about
but they don't thrill me.
Hmm. I just checked E-bay and there's one for
sale there now

I don't do Ebay. It involves more trust that I am able to muster.
. They want way too much for it but it does
include the hard to find
programmer's keyboard. There are a couple others for
sale there as well

jsZ1>. From what I've seen more monies lost than I care to
loose.
