When I was teenager a Model T Ford was an old car. My friend bought one for
$25. He painted it yellow and orange, cranked it up and rode it around town
with his girl friend in the passenger's seat and a case of beer in the
rumble seat. Some years later we realized how much fun that was.

Same's true for computers.

You have to admit yellow and orange would be cooler than the gray and
desaturated purple, though.

And pithy saying like "Four wheels, no brakes!" on the car. I guess
on the sun you could have... umm... "256Mb, no Swap!" or something
equally silly.

But yes, please don't let me stop you! I ran em myslef for years.

How "local"? Is Pawtucket, RI too far for you? Jabour Electronics might have
one, but I'm not sure if that's any closer to you than you-do-it.

http://eli.com/   might also have what you are looking for, though I'm not really following this thread that closely!

Unfortunately, eli is almost entirely computer stuff now, they used to
be randomly good for surplus.

Thanks to all replies! I ended up heading to you-do-it. They only had
some MAX clone ICs, but good enough, worked out in the end.

Take care,
