Jacqard 500 computers rescued...ugh!

well I rescued 3 J500 computers and a 20meg removable drive unit. I understand why people collect stamps now.....they take a damn sight less room. Can any one tell me a bit about the units (I did get the manuals...but they are now in storage) Opening one case quickly did not reveal a processor...were they a bit slice job ? Any how I will investigate more later. BTW the drive unit measures about 3"x2"x2" and weighs a hell of a lot...hence the ugh and another step down the road to a massive hernia. Had to pass on the diablo printers for this lot at this stage (shame on me!...but storage is at a premium) so now my collection consists of 3 TRS80 model 1 2 TRS80 model 3 2 TRS80 model 4P 3 Systems 80 (same as the genie) 2 Sinclair QL 1 Amiga 600HD 1 Amiga 1200 1 Altos system (drives,tape units,processor,etc,etc,etc) 1 Nascom (with german DOS, hard sectored drive) 1 Kaypro 4 1 Kaypro 10 1 TI 99/4 12 Polycorp Poly computers (designed and made in New Zealand) 1 Polycorp server unit (z80 and 6809 with 2 8" drives and serial network) 3 Jacqaurd J500 1 Apple 2e 1 Cromenco 1 Amstrad 8256 1 Amstrad 6128 1 MSX and various Misc machines I can't remember at the moment. Oh I have a hell of a lot of manuals and books on the various beasts as well, however I have NO parking left in my shed which required a lot a cleaning to fit the J500s in. I also have a collection of large numbers of floppy drives, monitors,accessories (like atari IR joystick controllers, cromenco joystick,etc).
