Hi all

I got hold of a Microbox II (6809 single board computer)
a while ago and I'm slowly working on getting it working.

I need copies of the articles on this design, which appeared
in ETI from December 1985 to April 1986 -- I already have
the December and March issues but would like to get hold of
the other three.

So, who has old ETI's stashed somewhere? And facilities to
scan, ideally?

I also need a WD1770 Floppy controller and the only source
I know of is a BBC Model B. I have three BBCs in the container
somewhere, but I don't know whether they're the right thing,
and even if they were, I'd have to think long and hard before
stripping one.

And I need a WD2123 UART. These things are scare but I'm sure
someone has a few stashed somewhere :-)
