I"m in Eugene, Dave. Drop me a line and I'll pick it up, though I haven't
the faintest idea of what to do with it.
Cheers,
Chuck

I have and I'm tired of storing an old S-100 box,
probably home-made in a
formed and machined aluminum enclosure. The whole thing is a tank of
impressive proportions and weight. I saved it from the trash years ago,
as
S-100 systems were common when I first started using
computers (Osborne 1
era).
Originally, it had 2 8" floppy drives. One of the drives is missing,
although I have the door for it.
Inside, there's a CPU/IO card, a 64 K DRAM card, an analog data
acquisition
card, and I don't remember what else. One of the
cards says MicroByte.
The
front panel had a key switch, which is still there, but pulled back from
the
panel.
I have no idea if this works, but at least the major parts appear to be on
hand.
Are you interested in this beast? Do you want pictures? I don't want any
money other than the cost of getting it into better hands. I'm in Eugene,
Oregon, by the way.

Too far/heavy/big for me to get it shipped here, however if there is
someone
on the list who would like to give it a home, please contact me and I'll
connect
the two of you.
Regards.
Dave
