Check out the wiki page 
http://retrowagon.org/wiki/index.php/Ithaca_Intersystems_DPS-1 and the 
uTube video http://rodaw.me/2prN7UP I did last night of a Ithaca Audio 
Intersystems DPS-1 S-100 Z80 computer booting CP/M 2.2 from eight inch 
floppy disk drives. Note the Tempo 2020 transceiver in the background.

Operational items in the collection 
http://retrowagon.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Operational

The collection is mostly vintage computers but also contains A 
typewriter, mechanical calculator, Abacus, Slide rule, Core memory, 
Rotary phone and a bunch of other goodies that relate to the dawn of the 
personal computer. I even threw in what may have been my first 'kit' An 
Eico mystifier full of NE2 neon bulbs. 
http://retrowagon.org/wiki/index.php/Eico_EC_700 I have an unbuilt 
Heathkit Component Tracer IT 2232 to show the good 'ol days. WTB a 
working IT 2232 to show the before (the kit) and after (a working unit).

A look at the debut of the collection at Desert Code Camp in Mesa, 
Arizona last year;

*** I'm not going to say "My Museum" on this forum ;-) *** Hoping this 
mobile collection may be welcome at some Amateur Radio festivals, 
organizers drop me a line if interested.

c ya...
