No real idea,
except that generation 4? ** computation is rarely found
on eBay. Never seen annything from an IBM 1401 for
example. Remember that guy tring to sell the door
off a Univac? Pretty pathetic.

  Don't know my gen. numbers...
  1? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6?

BTW, I know a place where wirewrap-able Q?bus modules were
still available a short time ago if anyone's interested.
I was considering offering them on eb as table stands for
all those overpriced flipchips <g>
