There's an NCR 399 computer on ebay I was thinking

It's item number: 290105191721.

I don't know anything about it, but google does: I just searched on "ncr
399".

and some others.
I saw the stuff on the web. I was just hoping someone here had actually used one and could
give me an impression if it was worth saving. Looks like most people are interested in the
RS computers and would pay the $75 to have the NCR trashed.
I don't think it can be used as a stand-alone system. From some web sources, it needs
at least a cassette drive or the hard disk drives.
