Along the same lines....
While digging through one of my boxes of stuff for a part I found a
partial S100 Jade Double density disk controller kit unassembled. Of
course I remember why I had it, the person that gave it to me back in
'82 wasn't up for the assembly task, raided it for parts and gave
me the remains. At the time I wasn't interested in getting a 1793 based
controller going as I was getting 765As for free and all the assistance
from it's designers I could use. Well guess what.
I'm 98% of the way
through assembling it. Then I have to assemble the source
code as there
are no disks but lots of listings in the manuals. It's z80 based in that
it has its own CPU as a bus slave. Should be interesting to get going.
Oh, all the missing parts are from my collection and a few are date coded
before the board! It was all I had of some parts.

You see... that's the thing... I don't have anywhere to start but HERE. I've
really only been REALLY interested in the PC business since '93, and
collecting classics since May... I don't have ANYTHING.... I don't know
anybody (except all of you lovely people out there....), and so I need
somewhere to start... IBMs seem to be what I'm good at (I program them now as
a hobby, so I know x86) I would take an IBM/PC, or, if they're easy to find,
a PC jr. (Yes, even though I'm new, I have done my homework... I know that
it flew like a rock... but I have a good idea... now, something like that
might even MAKE MONEY...), anything that's not worth much money (that way I'm
not asking for a Apple I...) I mean micros, Bahrain, rember? I don't care
about "working order" or "untested".... I can usually get things
working...
provided that I've got parts (Something which is gradually increasing...)
Thanks,
