[svlug] (forw) [conspire] Electronics Flea Market 2019

[Michael Eager]

Wow.  This brings back memories of S100 bus systems with souped up Z80s 
and 64K memory which fit on a single card.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I think I have a 5 1/2" Maxtor hard drive 
with monster 80Mb capacity and a standard ST506 interface.
