Rumor has it that Joe may have mentioned these words:
Anybody know anyting about an OLD (76ish) AMI
system with a 6800 or 6809
CPU that ran Flex? I've been offered one and I'd like to know more about
it. The chassis and such are home made but the cards are factory made. I
have some pictures that I can provide if anyone wants to see them.

If it ran FLEX, it's *probably* 6809-based -- I dunno if there was ever a
FLEX for 6800; but there was even a version of FLEX for the Tandy CoCo.
I don't know if it ran Flex when it had a 6800 CPU but it started out
with a 6800 and was later upgraded to a 6809. I have a couple of 8" disks
from it and they have Flex on them.
Other than the requisite: "If you don't want it... don't forget me"
statement, I'd say 'Snag it' ->
That's already in the works! :-)
it's prolly at least as rare as an Apple 1;
mind you, prolly not worth as much (yet) but IMHO, more
interesting (as the
6809 *is* my favorite processor... ;-)
Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing the pix...
OK I'll send them to you directly. If there's enough interest I'll post
them on the web.
