If they want to pay me big bucks, I have a dozen or two 8086 IBM machines I
couldm pull the CPU on ---- second retirement would be nice :-)

Good Morning,

I think this may have come up some weeks back...

But among 8-inch floppy drives and other unspecified
items, NASA is buying up all the 8086 microprocessors
they can lay their hands on, specifically, to keep the
Space Shuttle flying. Not the more common 8088, of
course, but its 16-bit big brother.
