[Elecraft] FS: 68000 computer collection

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Yes, times have changed for the smaller, no doubt about that.

I suppose we can think of the 68000 boards as the computer equivalent of 
our vintage boat anchors. Not quite so heavy, but relatively big (and 
much easier to work on!)

Folks are out there who are into vintage computers ... just need to find 
them. I surely don't want to dump it all out.

Cheers, Alan
