There is surprisingly little interest in Techtronics gear despite the coolness 
factor. As for the Intel MFS? System, which is Multibus? I have a whole crate 
of mb cards on the way so FUGGEDABOUTIT :)

When I was shopping for my first computer, I looked at the CoCo. In reality 
anything TRS-80 related had a lot of sex appeal (sounds weird I know). I opted 
for a Tandy 1000. Dollar for dollar it was the best deal to be had (at Radio 
Shack). So hence my bias, but that's a strong term.

As to what can you do with it? A local company was running a homemade NC
drill using the (IIRC) Coco 2 with a pair of disk drives to drive the
thing. I bought it for kicks, but never used it.

To ask another similar question, I have a tektronix 2 axis controller
that uses paper tape. Changing the questions slightly, WHY would I use
such a thing? And ditto for an Intel software development system.

I have more than enough nostalgia items to keep me busy for the next
hundred years or so :).
