I am not some much as a collector of these old systems as I am a user.
Any board I have I actually use for something. Nothing sits around collecting dust.
I have actually been know to give away boards I don't physically use. Actually I just
gave away 60 lbs box of boards and misc parts. So these days I have exactly the boards I
use along with a large collection of IC to fix the boards.
Remember a persons becomes someone else's junk when you past away. So I am a
minimalist if it is not used regularly, out the door it goes
Now that you mentioned I think I may revisit making a 16MB board for the S100 bus for my
upcoming LINUX port. The amount of headache I am having getting what I want is becoming a
bit too much.
Later

Ha, ha I remember that post and probably the only

stuff was because I could not get the time down to drive
from the NYC area to
pick it up.
I wasn't fully aware of the sheer size of the collection at the time. I
thought I could drive out there over a few weekends to get it all. For the
third trip I rented a uhaul truck. This was stuff collected by Don Harris and
Rlee Peters out in Ridgecrest. You can browse through the CDROM assembled by
Rlee at
http://z80cpu.eu/ among other places. I included with the P112 kits
(which will be offered again when I get the time/space).
