John:
Would you entertain parting with one or two of those R6500 mb's? (I'd
settle for even one of the non-functioning ones).

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

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?
