Got these for around $60. I was attracted mainly as a source of some useful ICs. They came in boxes marked Pako. I'm not sure of they're parts of a computer in its own right or some kind of control system for the machines Pako made. Anyone ever seen these? They're really nicely done. Remind me of tektronix boards. Even have very convenient test points.

The NEC 8080AF brings back memories. It sure looked good. When I was building my Morrow's Micro Stuff front panel (beautiful design, BTW) I slipped while testing and I destroyed the 8080 chip that came with it. I bought the NEC8080AF from the owner of a small company in Chicago who was integrating IMSAI's for some telephone application, he took mercy on a broke college student and charged me only maybe $10 for it, a real deal at the time.

Good looking 2708's too from a rare-ish manufacturer.
