I expect those to be quite rare. Even in real life when they shipped,
I only saw a handful of them. You're talking about the parallel port
version, right? Are you trying to collect an original Amiga 1000 system?
Below is my contact info for MicroBotics - no doubt long gone, but
it helped me remember the names of the people there. Redmond is
well-known in the gaming world. He's even mentioned in Jerry Pournelle's
last Byte column, albeit for a popcorn topping:

I found a page of a former Microbotics employee at
<
http://www.spies.com/michael/> but I don't remember him, and he may
not have been present in the early days.
I noticed they're still listed in the 5/97 SCSI ID company registry
