How about one that's both rare (as in I know of no others that have

It's the I2S (International Imaging Systems) Model 70 Image Processors
that were used for the BBC weather forcast satellite images. Alas they're
currnetly in bits, but I have all the boards and cardcages, and the
schematics/user manuals. Even have the Unibus and DR11-W-compatible
interfaces for them.

3) How many people have *significant* machines?
One that made a dent in
history, even if it was something as mundane as an Apple II or a
PDP-11/34?
Do you mean significant as in it might be a really common machine, but
that particular one was used for something interesting / significant /
important?
