I'm passing along this request from Zbigniew Stachniak, a regualr VCF
speaker and Associate Professor at York University in Toronto who also
does a lot of excellent computer history research.
He's looking for Microsystems International MOD8 and MOD80 hardware for
some current research (see below).
If you can help him, please contact him directly.

Subject: Re: VCF 10.0
Sellam,
It was so nice to be able to attend VCF again. It was a great
event, I have met a number of interesting people -- thanks.
I have briefly mentioned to you my search for Microsystems
International Ltd. (MIL) MOD8 and MOD80 hardware. These are little
blue boards that plugged into a backplane which is depicted on
our museum's page
http://www.cse.yorku.ca/museum/v_tour/artifacts/artifacts.htm
The MOD8 and MOD80 hardware (as well as the MONITOR8
software and MIL cassette interface) were reasonably popular
among the hobbyists in the mid 1970s.
I'm looking for the MOD8/80 boards not only to supplement our
museum's MIL collection but also because I need them for my
current research. If you could help in finding some of these
MOD8/80 boards it would be great.
Best
Zbigniew
