You can do the same thing much smaller and easier in other ways. But, if wanted for collectible or curiosity fun factor, by all means go for it. I've been there. I've obtained and restored vintage computers for fun and relaxation only to later sell when they are done and I asked myself, "What will I DO with this?" One issue if you are passionate or active in vintage computing is space. Where to store or display stuff as your collect grows.

They are somewhat rare and proven working ones can go for $150 on up. Often they are not tested because they require a special cable and software. I’ve bought 2 the last year or so. Fun devices if not really that useful because of limited software made for it.

Are these units rare? It looks like no one is selling them on Ebay, so that makes me think they're not all-too-common, and perhaps expensive. I'm not looking to buy one now, just asking if it is worth the effort to try to get one in a couple months.
