Top 10 Holy Grails of Classic Microcomputer Collecting

Funny you should mention the OSI's, a saintly coworker just gave me a C4P-MF
and a C3D today. The C3D is the one you were thinking of with the 3
different CPU's.

I also 'always wanted' a CompuColor II, and finally found one last year,
it's REALLY rare. http://www.geocities.com/~compcloset/CompuColorII.htm

Still looking for a Sorcerer, but I have a couple of leads from the VCF.
One gentleman has two of 'em, one of which has the S-100 box. Hasn't
replied to my email yet though...

That's one I played with once back in the dark ages and I wish I
could find another. I have talked to people who worked there who
still had a couple in the attic but didn't feel like digging them out
and sending them to me, too much trouble. :-(

Finally got one and love it. Now if work would stop sending me
around the country I could get some work done on the expansion
box for it.

I'd be happy right now with any Ohio Scientific system. Though I'd
really like the one, can't find my notes for the model, which had 3
processors. A 6502, Z-80 and 680x if I recall. Have the notes on it
around here somewhere.

Of course I'd add all of Kai's to the list too but that would throw me
over 10.
