Again things have slowed down but a few goodies were found: A Rockwell
AIM65 4k computer inside what looks like a large calculator case that is
black and grey in color, has a onboard thermal printer using calculator
size paper, not tested yet, free; also got 6 R6500 mb's some are marked as
being bad all free; a Mac IIcx missing HD and memory simms for free; a
working Mac SE/30 without KB and mouse for $15; a Victor 386sx/20 laptop
broken screen with power adapter for free. Other manuals gotten at thrift
stores and some software that's been the week. Keep Computing - John

Pardon my ignorance, but what's an R6500? That wouldn't be an IBM
RISC machine, would it?

R6500 are Rockwell Advance computers like the Kim-1 or Sym-1's. It's just a
motherboard that had 1k to 4k of memory and sold from 375 to 599 for the 4k
model. They started production in 1979. John

New subject: R-6500 mb
John:
Would you entertain parting with one or two of those R6500 mb's? (I'd
settle for even one of the non-functioning ones).

Greetings John,
What are the plans for the AIM 65? I have something similar buried in a
burgler alarm system (No docs not working). I'm sort of looking to either
get ahold of one of these or sending the pieces I've got to someone
needing to repair one.
In short are you interested in selling yours or would you be interested in
mine?
Thanks,
George
