Very good question.

I know of 4 C1Ps and 2 C4Ps that went into the trash, I got this info
from their owners. Three were trashed just last year. Typical
conversation:

Me: I collect old computers.
Other: My office has some 386s we're getting rid of.
Me: No, no... older than that. I'm especially interested in a
       company that was called Ohio Scientific.
Other: Gee, that's too bad. I had a C1P. I finally got around to
       clearing out the garage last month and threw it away.
Me: <try to smile while biting another 1/4 inch off the end of my tongue>

Mine:
1 SuperBoard II
2 C1Ps
1 C2OEM
1 C2Net
1 C3OEM
1 C3D (working at 1MHz, flakey at 2MHz) with CD23 hard disk (not working
yet)
1 C4PMF (just fixed)

I'm developing a relationship with a person who was an engineer at OSI from
78 to 81. Give me some time, I'll try to get him onto the list.
