It varies but usually a couple of bucks. Generally I "shop" at the scrap
places so if I don't buy them they end up being scrapped for the metal but there's
little if any gold in the SMS stuff so it's cheap.
Hi,
I keep finding a lot of boards made by SMS and I'm wondering if they're worth
picking up. A lot of them seem to be out of DEC systems and/or 8" floppy drive
controllers that are used with DEC stuff. I usually leave them behind but I picked up one
yesterday for parts. this one is a Q-bus card and has an AM2901ADC bit slice CPU, an Intel
8085, an intel 8155 and an Intel 8253. It says that it's model # FWD 0106, Assy #
000420-0001, Fab # 0004222 Rev C.
Any thoughts on this?
Prolly at least worthwhile for the 8085 and other spare parts...
I'm looking for 6802's (and 6821's) and having a hard time...
How much are they costing you? I'm looking for 6802's (and 6821's) and

I find them occasionally, I'll start picking up some. Do you mind unsoldering them
or are you just looking for socketed parts? I think most of the 68xx stuff that I've
seen is soldered in. I generally don't bother with soldered in parts but you may not
have any choice. Drop me a line in a month or so I'll let you know what I find.
