I don't know why I have been holding on to this for so long :confused:, but now I need the space in the garage, so please come collect this bit of early microcomputer history. These are much rarer than your run-of-the-mill TRS-80 or Apple 2 :)

I can provide photos of all items to those who are interested.

That's a pretty sweet deal lol. If I had a spare $400,000 I could move to california and find some of these cool free systems.
