My love of all things OSI comes from my childhood in the UK where my first computer was a Compukit UK101. Those are impossible to find in North America, so a Superboard II is the closest I can come

Hello Dave et al.,

I'm contemplating building a 600D so I am researching availability of parts. You mentioned that you still had boards and key caps. Is that true, and if so how can I arrange purchase?

Also, for others, I've not been successful locating the code for the chargen EPROM. Does anyone have a pointer to the file ?

Thanks much,
John - Colorado Springs, CO

I have plenty of keycap sets. They are $65/set. These are dark gray rather than black, but they look great, and early C1Ps and superboards had gray keys as well. I've seen them with my own eyes.

I had several PCBs that I got from Grant and passed on at cost, but I have run out of those. However, I have seen them for sale on Ebay from a canadian seller, although I don't see any at the moment. Also, the gerber files are available on the OSIWeb github:

600D download
610 download

Here's a link to a forum posting of the character generator. I haven't gotten around to putting it in the archive, but I will. . .

Thanks Dave,

That gives me what I need. Can you send me a PM with payment instructions on getting the key cap set from you? I tried sending a PM to you yesterday but it looks like I don't have permissions yet.

Thanks - John

Dave,
Do you have any sets of the Cherry keys left. I'd like to order one set if possible.

Thanks,
Tom
