Or Amber (some later Kaypro/Vixen models)

If you stage a Computer Museum Rally, I'll drive up from beantown with
some items.

Besides the TRS80 mod III, I've got a programmable calculator whose
tower-case has 4 bit wide magneto-restrictive delay line serial
memory. Luckily other than that unit, old calculators take up less
space than old computers -- even the WWII/coldwar mechanical
scientific units are slightly smaller than TRS80 iii. I also have some
artifacts from TCM's Marlboro Yardsale, eg a PDP-6 bit-slice and
demi-bus, and several other generations of flipflop or register.

Am looking for a Sinclair ZX-80 (white thermoplastic, not the more
rugged ZX-81 black) -- I wasn't fool enough to BUY one new then, but
have stories to tell about the Boston office of Sinclair in 1980.
