I just ran across a sale on epay by a guy who thought you could pull the

I couldn't find the processor from the huge number of gold scrap chip
auctions he had, but he said it (or the other) chip(s) for the board

The early ethernet schematics are best read with the a copy of the
original patent (US 4,073,220) in hand. In particular, you can match up
figure 5 and the explanation in the text with the schematic from Xerox. I
wrote such a document decades ago but it has vanished along with many other
bits.

There are a lot of idiotz out there.
I ran into one who'd removed a group of boards from (probably) an -11/40, and

Are there any reasonably priced boards with the processor and memory of
either the KDF or KDJ processors?
The ones I've seen recently are astronomically priced.

I don't remember the board numbers that came with the memory. If you have
specific boards I'll try to check tonight.
I seem to remember some lose J-11 chips somewhere- I'll try to find them.
