Here's the wrinkle: It's an unbuilt, BARE
board. Given the somewhat
historic nature of this article, what would you do? Build it as
originally designed (most of the parts are still available), or
leave the board blank, as is?
As with the Mac someone asked about, my answer is leave it as is; you can
always build it later. Sure, assemble all the parts while they're still
available, but don't do it until necessary.
P.S., I still need your new address.

Guys:
Afer looking at a number of responses, Uncle Roger's position
seems the most logical to me (besides, one other person suggested
this also). I think I'll buy that parts to build this, and just keep
it until needed.
Building it won't be a priority, though. The MP-A wasn't exactly the
best SS-50 CPU available. I have a NOS Thomas Instruments Super CPU,
that I've wanted to build for years. Compared with other S-50 boards
of that era, it had alot of cool features. I am working on getting a
couple of scarce parts for its companion video board.
