No, I didn't buy it. Just wondering if I should.

Subject: AVL Road Runner computer????
I stopped at a scrap place today and spotted an
AVL Road Runner computer
there. It looks similar to a Commie 64 but is slightely smaller and marked
Road Runner on the top hump. There was also an external monitor with about
a 5" screen marked AVL with it. Also has two external floppy disk drives,
both marked AVL. Each drive is full height 5 1/4". Also has an AVL marked
"expander" box that's made of metal and about 14" x 12" x
2". The expander
box had sockets for the floppy drives, two video sockets and a couple of
others that I don't remember. IIRC one video socket with a RCA type and
the
other was a PL-259. There was also a separate AVL
keyboard there. It had a
metal back and ends and was similar to the ones used for Kaypros and other
early portable computers. It seaparate from the rest of the sysstem so it
MAY NOT be part of it but what's the chances of finding parts for two
different AVL ssystems in the same location? Everything painted a dark
grey
color. Does anyone here know what this is?
