Al, I don't know much about them, only from discussions on this list. Thought maybe there were only one or two models made and thus maybe there was interest in any model, even if it's just for parts. As an aside, i'll be up in SF in late October and hope to stop by the museum. Sent from

There's a guy here in So Cal that has a bunch of vintage computers including an Altos. I haven't seen it personally but he has a Craigslist ad. Said he put it on ebay and sold it but didn't want to ship because it's real heavy, so i guess the deal fell thru. Current ad says $300 for all.

I disposed of a BPK-72 on eBay some years ago. I think it sold for $30. My recollection was that the thing was really power-hungry, particularly for something that stored only 128Kbits. --Chuck

Long shot, but you never know... I recently obtained an Altos 386/1000 system (80386 + 4GB RAM in a tower case with tape drive and floppy) After a quick clean and check it powered up, gave a whinge about a flat battery (which I'm told is to be expected), and then booted SysV r3 Unix OK.

That looks similar to the Logo of the company I worked for ICS (Instrumental Colour Systems) The machine is identical down to the colour and the tape reader. Did you contact the guy with the drawings? Rod Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Christian Corti via cctalk Sent: 08 October 2018
