Motorola EXORbus docs needed

HI Rich,

    I'm glad to see someone else is interested in the Motorola
stuff. Steve Robertson has a **bunch** of docs for the EXOR-bus stuff. He
and one other list member (I can't think of his name right now) are the one
two that I know of that are seriously interested in the EXOR-bus stuff. I'm
interested in it but I have too many projects already so I've been passing
all the stuff that I find onto them. I've got a pile of EXOR-bus cards
here right now that I need to go through. Steve and I were supposed to get
together at the UCF hamfest last weekend and I was going to give it all to
him but both of us had other things that we had to do so we never made it.

    I do have a GOOD book about the EXOR_bus and the other Motorola stuff
of that vintage. It's The Complete Motorola Microcomputer Data Library
printed by Motorola in 1978. It's about 2 1/2" thick and has very good
descriptions of all of the EXOR_bus cards, related developement systems,
software, etc. I don't want to get rid of it but I'll loan it to you. (I
already have two piles of books that I need to send you!) I also have
several other old Motorola books that may be on interest but I don't think
they specificly talk about the EXOR-bus.

     I think I have a couple of Micro A CPU cards with 6809s on them. For
some reason, a lot of those have been turning up down here. I have what
looks like video card that was made by Matrox (sp?). Matrox builds
**very** high end PC video cards.

      Yes, I have all that.

     Hmm. I found several EXOR-bus card racks but gave them all to
Steve. He would probably be willing to part with a couple.
