computer.
If you've got one to sell or trade, please contact me directly.
Thanks!

Can't help you... I gave my C4P motherboard to Hans about four years
ago. Never had the rest of the computer.
I would just like to play with a C-III sometime... I don't really
need to *own* one, but I'd like to play with one for nostalgia's
sake - a family friend had one long, long ago (that he bought new,
but was trashed when he loaned it out to a youth organization for
education/training).
Mostly, all I ever did with it was to fire up BASIC on, ISTR, the 6502,
and fiddle around. I did help the owner optimize a program he wrote to
help automate part of his job at the Gas Company - we rewrote the
inner loop in 6502 assembler and called it from a USR() routine.
I just remember thinking how cool it was to run multiple processor
architectures in the same box.
I wonder how hard it would be to build an emulator for it... each
processor has multiple emulator code bases - the trick would be
getting the I/O coded up enough to run the OS... oh, yeah... a
copy of the ROMs and OS would be kinda handy.

I've got a C-III. I got it at least three years ago but I haven't done
anything with it yet.

You're welcome to play with one if you come out to Silly Valley.
It's a C3 OEM. I did get a bunch of disks with it, but I'm not sure
what's on them. Could be OS-65D, could be CP/M, could be something
else.
