Hi Eric,
Hum, I wonder where Gary got his ideas? Didn't he use a DEC PDP-nn for his
initial PL/M compiler to get the first CP/M built in the first place? I'd like
to find out more about TOPS-10, OS-8 and RT-11.
Very interesting indeed!

The M8190 is likely to be of interest to someone since it’s likely to be a
11/84.
Personally I’m interested in one or both of the M8061’s which are Qbus RL02
controllers and would cough up some bucks to buy off the recycler.

You used to be able to find a set with connector blocks for $200 to $300
range on EBay. But I haven't seen any pop up for a couple of years now.
Keep an eye on machines. These options were found in the variants of E's
