Not rare? They're pretty rare from where I'm sitting. Not to be
argumentative, but I've seen ONE (an ADM-5, now in my basement) in all
my travels in about the past ten years.

Does anybody else remember the ADM-3 kits that were sold by LSI? You
received the main PCB unpopulated and a baggie of parts plus instruction
manual - solder your system together and saved about $200 off of the regular
price.

Remember??? I lost track of how many of those kits I built back in the
'Byte Shop' days for people who did not want to wait for assembled units.
