Would you consider sharing these with your down trodden brothers in the community
who've had to go without?
I also have an ISA card with 6 banks of 4164s and an
Intual DUART on it.
And I recall the "Blue Seed" kits.
Please expound.
Lots of interest in the early PC, apparently.
Aye.

Netronics marketed a variety of kits--the original Explorer, which I
believe was a Z80 box, the Explorer 85, which was an 8085 box and the
Explorer 88/PC. Looking at the prices is somewhat germane to the
original topic. Can you imagine spending $250 for a floppy controller
card or $300 for a keyboard?
Marcus has some "Blue Seed" stuff on his site:
