Interesting regarding chips and SBCs. Who collects them, other than Allison? I got the
regular run-of-the-mill stuff, 8088, 286, 386, 486, 68Ks -most (no 68060, tho). I do have
a 186, not really rare but seemed to be skipped over like the 68010 (don't have one,
either). Can't say I really have a scare microprocessor. I did manage to get the Mot
88K chipset of all things.
I have a few SBCs, mostly plug-in cards into ISA bus. Some interesting ones. In fact, most
of the lose
chips I have from list above I also have as a plug-in card. I'll have to catergorize
them better and complete generate a list.

The F8 is one I skipped over by choice. I do
have basic data on it though. The 8080/8085/z80/z180/z280 and Z800x are machines I'm
also familiar with. The only SBC in the 8080 family is the STP cards from VT100s I have
gobs of them and they make handy little controllers. Other chips level cpus I've
played with include the 8008, 8048/8049 family, 8051, DEC T-11, NSC800, NEC D78xx series,
many of the 4bit machines other than intel's.

As I mentioned, I was an impoverished student in that time
frame. Nevertheless, I spent a small fortune on books on these kinds of
processors, and computers and programming languages and such. (Not to
mention SF, hot rod periodicals, underground comix, National Lampoon, and
girlie mags). I gave away some of the hot rod stuff to a friend who was
restoring an old Fairlane, but I still have the rest of it. Well some of
the girlie mags are hors de combat, lost in a skirmish with Mothers of
America militia patrol.
Wish now I had spent a lot more on actual hardware, though. I envy
your collection.
