There was this computer Commodore was going to make and then pulled
out of the market. It was based on the 6509 CPU, I guess right before
the 6510 / C64. I thought then as now that the case was especially
nicely shaped (such beautiful round corners, reminescent of my 91
Chevy Caprice.) I still remember when all those boards came onto
the surplus market in a German electronics mail order catalog. When
Commodore pulled them all from the market. I actually bought one
back then, because I needed a replacement SID or something like that
(I don't remember.) So, now I was looking for something in my old
junk box and that board fell back into my hands. I think I don't
need it any more, may be there is some collector here who would
appreciate that board and bring it to life? Nothice that this is
not a running system. It's just a mother board and all ROMs are
pulled. The 6509 is on there and I'll be darned if it wasn't still
good.
cheers,
