Hello,
Unique 68000 S-100 CPU board and assorted other boards and engineering notes for sale. The board is the design feature of my 68000 book published in 1987. Photos and details at http://wilcoxengineering.com/68000-microprocessor - I can provide more specifics for serious inquiries. Would like to keep this special historical collection together. Can use to connect to experimental ham-radio equipment and control units. Needs good home! Cheers, Alan Alan D.

Wow does that bring back memories!
I did 68K as well as 68020, 030, and 040 embedded systems development myself, and I too still have prototypes. The company I was working for at the time had the first commercial 68k product released to market. WW6L Good luck -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Alan D.

I used to service first digital generation pinball machines utilizing these babies replacing their mechanical family. 72 Ron, wb1hga ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Absolutely good memories! I wrote lots of software for VME racks packed with 68K
processors. We used them to automate production testing of military avionics sub-systems. The later ones ran on the OS-9 operating system which could be "EPROMed" for deployment. Good times and good work, but to big a package to fit inside a KX3! Mike, N0SO ________________________________ From: Jeff Herr <[hidden email]> To: Alan D.

Fitting the 64pin dip by itself into the KX3 would be a challenge without the I/O, memory, clock stuff and the glue needed to make it all work.

Yes, times have changed for the smaller, no doubt about that.
I suppose we can think of the 68000 boards as the computer equivalent of our vintage boat anchors. Not quite so heavy, but relatively big (and much easier to work on!) Folks are out there who are into vintage computers ... just need to find them. I surely don't want to dump it all out. Cheers, Alan Alan D.
