Way cheaper than most 8's available, and hangs on the wall. And he is
throwing in his terminal. So once complete you have a function blinking
light panel equipped 8 with storage, and all you do is attach ps2
keyboard and vga monitor, and you are running.
I'm thinking $1000 is a good deal (and yet, I have one)
He also had the "extras" package, and the extra I/O board, so this isn't
just the SBC and panel at all.

Notice that the kit is missing the panel switches. I don't have any of
those left.

From the auction:
"This listing includes: The full SBC-6120 kit, the FP-6120 Front Panel kit with
black switches"
Sound like switches are indeed included. It looks very complete, I'm tempted
and I do have an 8/e.

I found a hunk of suitable wood and used a table saw to cut a 45
degree bevel in the face and a 1/8" notch to hole the plexi. A bit of
measuring and work with a power mitre saw gave me a box frame, then I
cut out access notches for the CF card and IOB6120 cables with a jig
saw, and drilled a large hole to admit the wall wart power connector.

That's me! =) I've had the parts for something like nine months now,
but have been away from home for eight months. I'm starting the move
now, and will be set up "for real" soon.

Thanks! We're just getting started, but we'll be rolling trucks from
Florida within the next couple of weeks. I'm sitting in the new

work done.
I'll get your stuff (and some other goodies!) shipped down to you
while we're still in FL, so nothing gets lost in our move.

MOONEY, GASTRK, FBO, RUNWAY, VASI, ATIS, STINSON, REIL, TOWER,
VIDSYS). VIDSYS:: a
uVAX-II/GPX in BA123 was my office VAX at DEC and came home with me
after the great
blood letting. I inherited it from Video Systems Engineering during my
tenure.
If I count PDP-11s 9 operational starting with a PDP11/03(LSI11),
11t23(F11), MicroPDP11/53,
my monster 11/73 (50" corp cab with RL02, RX02, multiple RDxx) and a few
BA11VA with 11/2
and 11/23 boards and TU58 storage. There are 4 system in BA11S boxes and
2 in BA23
and one in BA123.
For PDP-8 and clones 4, PDP-8f, Intersil sampler board(6100 cpu), HB
version of STGs6100,
and a 6100 made to look like like a 4K 8e (no EMA) but has std console.
Several COSMAC 1802 based including original COSMAC (Ca1978, my build),
STGs Embedded
1802 with expansion, and a handful of HB 1802s as projects for fun.
If I could system I have a long list of them (about 50) in catagories of
DEC, CP/M based,
TI99/4A, and SBCs. Among the oddball SBCs I have a IMSAI IMP-48 (8035 cpu).
The largest group is the DEC or DEC based, and the CP/M based systems.
The latter has:
2 NS* Horizons (both have hard disks) One built by me in '78
1 Altair 8800 (I started assembling it in December 1974 SN00200)
1 Altair 8800BT (turnkey business system)
1 NS Advantage with hard disk
1 Kaypro 4/84
1 Kaypro-II (the later 2)
1 AmproLB+
1 Compupro 816 with disks drive both hard and floppy. I have Z80, 68K
and 8085/8088 CPU for it.
1 CCS (complete save for I use Heath H207 8" disks)
1 Vt180 complete
1 VT185 (Vt180 with VT125 video and DEC paddle board)
3 Epson PX8 with wedges and 3.5" disk unit.
1 Osborne 1
3 VT180 board setup as standalone one running at 6mhz with CF
1 Netronics Explorer85 (8085 with S100)
1 SB180 (micromint) with SCSI option and 20mb hard disk
1 BCC180 with added CF (64mb) added via the 8255 PPI
1 Commadore 128 with disks running CP/M
Likely forgot one or two. I didn't list out all the SBCs as they are
operational
but need to be hooked up to a terminal and power where the listed system
are generally operational (move it into the open and turn on) or in
frequent
use.
I generally do not count PCs but I keep a few 386SX/25 boards as spares
and a pair of Dell 486 pizza boxes for their ISA bus. (all are certifiably
12+ years old).
Not an unhappy family. ;)

Nope a 3
computer household is PDP-8F, microPDP11/53, and a few VAXen,
Why does 'a few
VAXen' only count as one computer (rather than a few
computers)?
PCs don't
count but the
NS* horizon z80 system does.
3 computer household : HP9810, HP9820, HP9830 ;-)
