I know where you can get a BioRythm, but not if you want to pull the
chip out...

Please have a look at my collection at:

I just took a look ... VERY nice! How long has the museum been in
existence and how long have you been collecting?
I am looking for a 4004 microprocessor. Also for
an 8008. Does
anybody
know of one going for sale? I will pay cash or
have many British
computers for trade/swap.
One of the early arcade "games", a unit called BioRhythm" used the
4004
as the processor. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of them all now! I don't
know if they were exported your way or not.

Actually, I'm not interested in getting one although they might be neat
from an applications standpoint. I think I still have
the docs on the
4004 and the 8008, hmmm, maybe even that BioRhythm machine. At any
rate, I wouldn't pull chips from anything working just to get the
component. I have a hand built ???? that looks like it might have been
used for laser communication or sensing with a CK722 transistor in it.
The transistor is smaller :) but there the unit sits.

New subject: 5 1/2" Drives
Tonight was the meeting of the Classic Computer Club here in Santa
Barbara, CA. and one of the subjects brought up was the usefulness or
uselessness of the old 5 1/5" floppy drives. Do any of you collectors
have a use for them or need them to complete a given machine? We have a
guy here in town who has been repairing these types of drives for a long
time and apparently has quite a few. I probably have between 50 and 100
of these things I "saved" from the dumpster that include the early full
height PC drives and the older 100 TPI drives used on the Vector
machines, condition unknown in most cases.

New subject: CCS Z80/Serial/Ram card
In moving things around, I found a CCS Z80/Serial/Ram Card with about
192K of ram. It is on an 8 bit PC style card and has a DB25 male serial
connector at one end. Anyone know what this thing is? The copyright
date on the board is 1983. Thanks.
