Yup, I am not staring at $500 or $700 (way too much),
and I am not counting to make big bucks here.
I will have a good look at it this evening, scan the
doc (if I have it) tomorrow and then put it up on
eBay for, say $25 ...!

Hi
The 499 one is on its second round, after not being sold for 499.
It is not likely that the 700 one will get much either. It
seems like I saw one of these get around 300 or so. Remember,
these are just asking prices.
These were designed to work with the 8080 but as I recall,
they were also used with a few others, like the 8085. When I
worked at Intel, I'd gotten a centronics printer wired for
220 50 cycle. I used the transformer from one of these to use
to step down. I handled the 50 cycle with a gear change on
the AC motor.

Wow, $500 and $700 for that thing? I have one at
home with the
documentation, and I am sure never going to use it.
Guess putting it on eBay will make some money to finance the
PDP-11 stuff which is far more interesting than Intel *&@#~$% I will
check bitsavers if the doc is available, else I will scan that first.

Dump the EPROMs before you sell it. Having a complete
print set does little good if you don't also know what's
in the ROMs! :-/
Let me know if you *don't* scan the manuals -- as I have
a complete set (no doubt hiding wherever the *other*
parts of this box are hiding!). I also have commented
sources for the ROM set (at least the ROMs in *my*
box... no idea how often the firmware was upgraded in
these -- hence the suggestion to dump the ROMs before
disposing of the box).

Hi Don, Joe,
I checked what I have ... the unit has the personality module for the
8080 *and* the 8085 interface, and those two interfaces are also present.
However, a simple straight flat cable is missing, I don't see that as a
major issue. I will dump the EPROMs, and scan the operator's manual.
BTW, if you are interested in a few more pictures, the eBay item number
is 8805432722. That's all I want to say about this unit on CC.
- Henk.
