that rare, but then Sellam told me that he has a very hard time
turning up OSI stuff, so maybe it's a little rare.
To which Sellam Ismail replied:
OSI stuff has traditionally been hard to turn up (for me at least). It
took several years of collecting before I got my first OSI system. Now I
have a few various models, all given to me by various people ironically.
Bob Maxwell had the coolest and rarest OSI computer at VCF East: a model
300 (OSI's first kit?)
Alas, it's not mine. Jim Kearney brought it VCF East to supplement my OSI
Superboard display. The 300 is a sobering reminder of how a computer
company could start in those early days with hobbyist-grade products. I
don't think Michael Dell could have ever sold any PCs with hand-taped
circuit board artwork...
