Rumor has it that Seth Morabito may have mentioned these words:

>it's classic to me for nostalgia reasons, but I won't get into

>really any 5000 will do.

>I'd be happy to pay shipping and a reasonable price (reasonable being

I believe I have one... I have no idea as to what it has onboard, but I 
could check. I don't know if I have a functioning keyboard/mouse for it, 
but I do have the video cable, and quite possible a monitor for it if you need.

I could check 'er out & let you know what it's got...

Trade is good, but I've got a couple MVax 3100's, and a couple of 
VaxStation 3100's (one packed to the *gills* - it really is a dream 
system...) -- anything SS50 or S100 bus, 6809 or 68K-ish... ;-)

I'll let you know what it's got after I get home tonite...

Laterz,
