Oh some people have all the luck! Guess that's what I get for
being in a back water. I'd like to know more about them and see
some pics if you can take some. The C3D I've only seen in ads.

That's the one. I've found a couple of collectors who had them and
a few people who have worked with them but that's it. Yes, I'd
class those as rare.

I was jumping up and down when some guy offered me one for
shipping cost. My wife thought I was crazy, wait she always
thinks that. I've never been able to find the S-100 box so I've start
work on one of my own. I've been told the box isn't all that rare
compared with the system itself but you could have fooled me.
Good luck with it.
