I didn't have any choice. Someone else grabbed the other two. I was lucky
to get this one. Here's the story: I was walking around with another guy
and someone we both knew drove in so we stopped to talk to him. He
mentioned that he had three Lisas and we nearly had fits. We "persauded"
him to go back home and get them. The other guy stood right at the seller's
spot for over an hour till he returned. As soon as the seller returned he
grabbed the two best looking machines. But I did OK, the machine I got had
an internal hard drive, the other two didn't. I also found a complete
Zorba system while I was waiting for him to return.

Whatta you mean I didn't pick it up? It's sitting in the middle of the
kitchen floor :-/ Turns out that it's not exactly S-100. The sockets are
right but they're off set to one side of the card slot so S-100 cards won't
fit in. Someone else said it was for some kind of TI computer. Too bad.
It's a super nice box. I'm thinking of trying to modify it to fit S-100.
