6085 (running Viewpoint, son of Star) or 1185 / 1186 (Lisp) or ...?

Yes, numbered 8010 (running Star) or 1108 / 1109 (Lisp) or ...?
Worth getting, if that's in question, though you'll probably need
their keyboard, mouse & monitor to make use of them.

These looks like a Xerox workstations I used to own. They usually work if
you can find the monitor. Bad news is the monitor is the quickest part to
die and finding one is a million to one odds. I had one and waited a year
for a monitor and gave up and pulled the thing apart and dumped it! - ran
out of space in my apartment. There is very little resource on the web for
it as I can remember quite well.

Here's to the day when someone makes a super monitor
that can synch up to anything. There may even be one out
there now. comments? There are things to do scan
conversion to NTSC,etc. video that come close, but alas at
a loss in resolution, they just feed in to a 640x480 display.

It's called the NEC Multisync 3D. =)
Been out for ten years.
OTOH, I suppose that a Xerox might use ECL, wheras the NEC will only handle
TTL and analogue.

New subject: Single Board Computer
I just received email from a friend of mine that might interest some of you
here.
**********************
I've just added a single board computer to my website, which might interest
some of you folks...
It uses a MicroMint 80C52, which has a "built-in" 8K BASIC interpeter. The
SBC has an RS232 port, 8K of RAM and 8K of EPROM. Ity also has an integral
EPROM programmer, which can "save" the BASIC programs in EPROM. Once saved
in EPROM, the computer can "coldboot" directly from the BASIC program, and
run without human intervention.... ideal for situations where a computer
must be quickly / easily programmed for a specific task.
There is also room on the board for an 18 - pin PIC chip, with power,
crystal and reset already wired up... The intention was to use a PIC for the
I/O and the 80C52 for "number crunching"... The PIC can be used separately
or with the 80C52...
The PC board is made using ExpressPCB web service, so all the holes are
plated-through, and the boards are very high quality... total cost to make
one of these SBC's is about $70 - $80. ExpressPCB has a ( free) CAD program
that was used to design the board, and the CAD file for the SBC is available
on my website.

The thing in front of my face right now is
a NEC Multisync 3FGe. Any good?
I really really doubt that. I think we concluded in another thread that the 3D
was the last one to sync down to 15 KHz.

I am asking because I want to know if I am the last
person alive, who
when something fails (anything), gets out the toolkit, 'scope,
multimeter, etc and fixes it. No matter what the unit or fault actually
is. I thought at least on this list people tended to fix things.
For my part, I'm all thumbs with a soldering iron. I just program the things.
If my C128DCR crapped out on me and it wasn't a simple chip swap, I'd keep
this one for parts and get another. I'm not knowledgeable enough (or patient
enough ;-).

The increasingly ubiquitous Xerox 6085 "Daybreak". Being used as a pallet
stand in an exposed outdoor environment :(
Would be nice to have these rescued before they are reduced to rust
buckets.
