If it is an Intel 301 it is worth saving. It came from
Intel at a time they
considered trying to break into the PC market. It is a classic machine in
it's own right. They gave up the PC market right after this, it is a one
and
only. It was also very well made.
There is no front label on it, but on the back it has an Intel sticker.
The only thing I can find to really ID it is a Product Number
(PS302254F4). There are some serial numbers, but nothing else very useful
as far as what it is.
Maybe based on that prod# it is a "302"? (if there is such a thing).
Alas, classic or not, I am not a huge PC collector. I am into Apple
stuff, I only really wanted my XT because I had an IBM PC, which is the
first "PC" by them, and I had an AT, so the XT just rounded it out... I
killed my XT/286, so I lost that already :-(
So an "Intel" unit doesn't have any value to me. If however it is a
"classic" that might be of interest to others, I might consider shelving
it for a future swap meet (if one ever occurs up my direction). But that
will all depend on how much shelf space I have to spare.
Most likely however, if there are no takers on this list, I will strip it
for parts, and pitch the carcass.
