This would probably be cost-prohibitive unless the machine were already
somewhere in the UK or EU (probably one of the units Olivetti imported,
rebadged and sold).
These things are HEAVY and quite fragile. Even with the original
packaging, they tend to break at the pivot point between the monitor and
base unit. At the $10/lb. guesstimate I saw in the responses, you'd
likely be looking at $4-600 in freight alone, nevermind packing.
A set of PALs (labelled with their board position)
and gate arrays (or
the bodgeboards used in early-rev 3B1s) which I could read out and
decode to produce a full set of logic equations. My main target is the
Memory Mapper PAL.
Do you have any reason to think that the security links on the PALs were
left intact? If so, I might be able to read them out for you. I have a
PAL programmer, but precious little time to devote to this type of
adventure.
