In the early 1970s I acquired several boards from a scrapped LEO III (the first and only transistorised LEO). I scavenged various components like transistors and diodes from them. From memory, those boards were better for vultures like myself than later generation boards, as the wires on the transistors were left quite long, making them easier to salvage. Of course, I now know I should have kept the boards intact, they would probably now be worth a bit as historic relics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
