  You know, one of the truly cool S-100 8086 boxes
that was available 
 for a long time was the H/Z-100.  You could get the all-in-one or
 separate monitor configuration, color, 8', 5.25" floppies, etc. etc.
 It ran Mess-DOS as well as H-dos (dual processors). 
Yeah, that is a really cool box.  I have one with the documentation and
some software.

  I lusted for one when I was a kid.  The other day
I found a pair of 
 them smashed to bits at a local surplus dealer. 
I was offered one locally (California) a couple weeks ago but the buyer
wasn't interested in selling it at the price I wanted to buy.  If you want
I can hook you up with him.  Perhaps he's interested in going through the
trouble of shipping it for the right price.

Well that's just it, isn't it?  I mean, if I had showed up two days before 
I could have gotten them (in working condition) for *NOTHING*.  It's not 
the kind of thing I'd pay serious money for (even if I had it), but I'd
surely grab one if it were going to be junked.  

The same junk yard also has a Vector and a distressed N* Horizon.
