How do people feel about old rack mount equipment? I am trying to decide if I should rescue it at a flea market.

Please grab it! I'd be happy to reimburse you for the $20 + shipping costs (Have FedEx wrap & ship it) + $150, PayPal or USPS MO.

I didn’t notice all these replies! No I did not make it back to the flea market. I let the 386sx pc I bought take up my project time. I will try to head back and see if its there when the flea market happens again at the end of the month.

Thanks!
I like to collect old things :)
I showed off a few at VCF Southwest this past June.

I’m pretty close to where we have VCF Midwest and love going! Couldn’t get there this past year but hopefully next year.

I finally found computer stuff at a flea market and I’m wondering what everything thinks about the Intel System 80/10 or Intels iSBCs. I googled enough to know its from the mid-late 70s and that Intel considers it THE first single board computer. This looks practically new in box, original user manual is still shrink wrapped.
I’m trying to decide if it’s worth me grabbing it and connecting it with the right collector, but I have so many projects and definitely don’t have a place for a rack mount. Being from the mid 70s I have absolutely no chance of figuring out a use for it.
If anyone is in Northern Illinois and these are your jam I could tell you the flea market its at.

Wtf, of course buy it. And if you dont want to keep it, put on ebay and eventually someone will want to pay more than 20$ for it

It was just such a massive box, and I have such little storage space for all of my projects as it is. I will check again when the flea market returns at the end of the month.

Thats understandable

Here's the manual for it. That is a spicy little number. Please let us all know you bought it.

I don’t think the first link is it, but the second 2 are correct! There is just very little info I can find on these. But the guy wanted $20 bucks for it and I just can’t decide if its worth the storage space I’d need to hold on to it.
