Interesting regarding chips and SBCs. Who collects them, other than Allison? I got the regular run-of-the-mill stuff, 8088, 286, 386, 486, 68Ks -most (no 68060, tho). I do have a 186, not really rare but seemed to be skipped over like the 68010 (don't have one, either). Can't say I really have a scare microprocessor. I did manage to get the Mot 88K chipset of all things.

I have a few SBCs, mostly plug-in cards into ISA bus. Some interesting ones. In fact, most of the lose
chips I have from list above I also have as a plug-in card. I'll have to catergorize them better and complete generate a list.

The only SBC in the 8080 family is the STP cards from VT100s I have gobs of them and they make handy little controllers. Other chips level cpus I've played with include the 8008, 8048/8049 family, 8051, DEC T-11, NSC800, NEC D78xx series, many of the 4bit machines other than intel's.
