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.

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.

"an Altos" is meaningless without the model number

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.
