Superboard Owner
Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2014 3:42 am
Hi everyone,
I like to tinker on old computers ,radio's and such. The superboard II was my first computer purchased around 79 on a family trip to california ,convinced my dad to help me get one, i was more excited about the computer then going to Disneyland.
Unfortunately all that survived my 20's was the original power supply and a couple of the manuals.
Several years ago i found a superboard II unbuilt with all the important parts intact, along with a not so nice completed version/ had some dead masked roms been hacked on and was dead. I did get it going doing the rom mod for the dead ones but sold it for a offer i could not refuse.
I was thinking of building the kit i have but am now thinking i will leave it alone. i will either make some copies of the boards and or wait till i find a nice working or not one to come along.
In the mean time i am restoring a HP 3000 series 30 to add to my collection
Thanks
Grant
