Ok, I'll byte. If I have a specialty in collecting classic computer
equipment it would have to be Intel Microcomputer Development Systems
(MDS). I have two working Series II (one with a Series III enhancement)
and one working Intel PDS (Personal Development System).
I have tons of reference manuals on these systems and also lots on other
Intel SBC boards (Single Board Computer) based on Multibus I.
I also have most every piece of ISIS software Intel ever released and
lots that was never released ("folklore" as a buddy who worked for Intel
used to call it).
There is a chance that I'll be buying some more (yes, I plea guilty to
the charge of having no life) so if there is anyone who might be
interested in sharing my expenses in picking up some Series II systems
in order to have your very own, let me know. I will make sure it works
and has lots of software.
