R6500 are Rockwell Advance computers like the Kim-1 or Sym-1's. It's just a
motherboard that had 1k to 4k of memory and sold from 375 to 599 for the 4k
model. They started production in 1979. John

Subject:
Slow But OK
Again things have slowed down but a few goodies
were found: A Rockwell
AIM65 4k computer inside what looks like a large calculator case that is
black and grey in color, has a onboard thermal printer using calculator
size paper, not tested yet, free; also got 6 R6500 mb's some are marked as
being bad all free; a Mac IIcx missing HD and memory simms for free; a
working Mac SE/30 without KB and mouse for $15; a Victor 386sx/20 laptop
broken screen with power adapter for free. Other manuals gotten at thrift
stores and some software that's been the week. Keep Computing - John
Pardon my ignorance, but what's an R6500? That wouldn't be an IBM
RISC machine, would it?
