If all goes well, my employer, The Press of Atlantic City, will be selling off
an almost unlimited stock of working DEC Rainbows in 1st Q '99 (and, boy will
I be glad to get something "modern" like a 486 on my desk.)

Anyway, in addition to being collectors items in their own right, they have
the same basic mechanical and electrical components as the DECMates. Word I'm
getting is they'll go for cheap to anyone looking to keep them alive or in
need of parts, at or just over scrap value.

Also up for grabs will be at least one major PDP-11 system.

I'll keep the list posted with the latest news including when and how to order
your own PC-Clone and DECMate repair kit.
