That's because only several thousand PDP-8's
were ever produced. Trust
me, I don't think you're EVER going to have problems finding a 486
motherboard, at least not in the next millenium.
There has been a time when I thougt that picking up
a ZX80 from dirt is not worth ... and now ?
Also PET - have you seen the PETs on ePay ? I got
most of my PET/CBMs way below USD 50 - and now ?
Hard to finde won at a reasonable price.
Gruss
