I'm away all day tomorrow, but aim to finish this note on Wednesday. Bear in mind, it's aimed at people who know virtually nothing about Intel's systems= . As well as three MDS Series II - each with IPC, IOC, PSU, Single-sided Shugart and two of the three with keyboards (all untested) - there are less common items such as Ethernet (Serdes 2 and Comm Controller with a cable - iSBC-550, I think), two RPB-86 and one IPC-86 and some ICE (85 and 86) parts. I'll send a couple of iSBC-32/64 RAM boards which had been used with the RPB/C parts and which Martyn Vale has restored for me. Moving the 'donated' items out of my storage will allow me to focus on the parts I have that I'm unlikely to use, including (MDS-II) a couple each of IPC and IOC, as well as a non-working iSBC-202 set. I also need to reduce my collection of PSYP310 parts - e.g. 86/30s, a 215B and a few 012B boards - and a little-used spare PSU. I bought a number of items from an eBay.com seller in Arizona some years ago - mostly good parts but also a couple of faulty boards. I've heard a suggestion that some or all of the items I'm delivering to the museum may be offered to visitors at an event on 21 April - and I'll probably go along to help explain parts - and may even hand over some cash to acquire parts if the prices are attractive.

Hi Craig

If you like, I'll se= nd you the notes I've been drafting for the museum. I'm away all da= y tomorrow, but aim to finish this note on Wednesday. Bear in mind, it'= s aimed at people who know virtually nothing about Intel's systems.
As well as three MDS Series II - each with IPC, IOC, PSU, S= ingle-sided Shugart and two of the three with keyboards (all untested) - th= ere are less common items such as Ethernet (Serdes 2 and Comm Controller wi= th a cable - iSBC-550, I think), two RPB-86 and one IPC-86 and some ICE (85= and 86) parts. I'll send a couple of iSBC-32/64 RAM boards which had b= een used with the RPB/C parts and which Martyn Vale has restored for me.

Moving the 'donated' items out of my storage= will allow me to focus on the parts I have that I'm unlikely to use, i= ncluding (MDS-II) a couple each of IPC and IOC, as well as a non-working iS= BC-202 set. I also need to reduce my collection of PSYP310 parts - e.g. 86/= 30s, a 215B and a few 012B boards - and a little-used spare PSU. I bought a= number of items from an eBay.com seller in Arizona some years ago - mostly= good parts but also a couple of faulty boards.

I&= #39;ve heard a suggestion that some or all of the items I'm delivering = to the museum may be offered to visitors at an event on 21 April - and I= 9;ll probably go along to help explain parts - and may even hand over some = cash to acquire parts if the prices are attractive.

Hi Jon,
I = noticed you have the clock generator 8284 listed. That is for the 8086/88 I= think. For the 8080 you need the 8224 which anchor doesn=E2=80=99t have.= =C2=A0 I didn=E2=80=99t check the other numbers, that one just jumped out a= t me because I nearly made the same mistake.

You should note these a= re all through hole and not smt. In the description, I include the package = for each, DIP4 DIP8 etc since some items with same number come in different= packages and it helps catch mistakes.

You may want to order compone= nts for the 8-61 board.
