Well, prices for parts isn't something I'd worry about. A box of
cookies plus shipping wwould be fine with me.... as soon as I
find the stuff. It would probably be better for you to tell me,
specifically, what it is you think you need. As far as software
and documentation goes, I don't have any -the reason I was
forced to dump mine. I tried (many ages ago) to decipher the
meaning/use of the dip switches at the back, but to no avail.
The problem with mine was that I tried putting a later version
of DOS on it, but the install pooped out, and since it ignored
the floppy on bootup, I was screwed. Even tried swapping
HD's etc. *NO* luck. They (I had two) were VERY picky
machines. Again, let me know what you need, I'll see if I still
have it laying around somewhere.
