  • Looking for hot 35 year old! [8570]

    Well, I suppose I need to actually carry through with my threats to
    install a Reply Model 70 PowerBoard. Except that I gave my last 8570 to
    Kevin [8570-Bxx upgrade].

    Looking for a donor 8570 system to install the Reply PowerBoard in. Anything from a 16MHz to 20 MHz system will do just fine. Would rather
    not strip out a Axx/Bxx systemboard, those are neat-o.

    The Fortress of Solitude is in Wisconsin.

    I disposed of my 8570-A21 quite some time ago, and of course the eBay
    listings have laughable prices attached to them. I'll keep my eyes
    peeled, a couple of years ago a 8560 showed up in one of the nearby
    Salvation Army stores, maybe lightning will strike again.

    I gave it to Industrial Dave on the same trip. He might have something
    for you if you email him, not sure he is able to access the NG post
    Google Groups.
