Hi all,

As you probably all know, I've got plenty of spare CPU boards which I'd like to
get rid of. At one time I went through them and tested them all, but they've
been moved around so much that I can't guarantee they still work (but they
probably do).

Box of 10 CPU boards for $50 sound fair? (Misc security chips, mostly Space
Fury). Heck, at the least you'd have 10 Z-80's and 40 2114 RAMs per box;
that's worth something :-)

Box of 30 XY pair, untested, no ribbon cables, make offer

Box of 20 speech boards, untested/unpopulated, make offer

(Might as well get rid of this stuff now before Clay makes a single board
multigame and this stuff becomes entirely obsolete...)
